We describe newly available data on parent or guardian countries of origin and history of having lived internationally for pediatric patients with TB (&lt;15 years of age).<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n RESULTS:<\/jats:title>\n Of 2660 children and adolescents diagnosed with TB during 2008\u20132010, 822 (31%) were foreign-born; Mexico was the most frequently reported country of foreign birth. Over half (52%) of foreign-born patients diagnosed with TB were adolescents aged 13 to 17 years who had lived in the United States on average &gt;3 years before TB diagnosis. Foreign-born pediatric patients with foreign-born parents were older (mean, 7.8 years) than foreign-born patients with US-born parents (4.2 years) or US-born patients (3.6 years). Among US-born pediatric patients, 66% had at least 1 foreign-born parent, which is &gt;3 times the proportion in the general population. Only 25% of pediatric patients with TB diagnosed in the United States had no known international connection through family or residence history.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>\n \n CONCLUSIONS:<\/jats:title>\n Three-quarters of pediatric patients with TB in the United States have potential TB exposures through foreign-born parents or residence outside the United States. Missed opportunities to prevent TB disease may occur if clinicians fail to assess all potential TB exposures during routine clinic visits.<\/jats:p>\n <\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.2012-1057","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,11,27]],"date-time":"2012-11-27T05:29:09Z","timestamp":1353994149000},"page":"e1425-e1432","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":66,"title":["Pediatric and Adolescent Tuberculosis in the United States, 2008\u20132010"],"prefix":"10.1542","volume":"130","author":[{"given":"Carla A.","family":"Winston","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Heather J.","family":"Menzies","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Division of Tuberculosis Elimination, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, Atlanta, Georgia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"417","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2012,12,1]]},"reference":[{"key":"2021120900001322300_B1","first-page":"680","article-title":"Tuberculosis","volume-title":"Red Book: 2009 Report of the Committee on Infectious Diseases","author":"American Academy of Pediatrics","year":"2009","edition":"28th ed."},{"key":"2021120900001322300_B2"},{"issue":"4","key":"2021120900001322300_B3","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","DOI":"10.1542\/peds.107.4.e54","article-title":"Targeted testing of children for tuberculosis: validation of a risk assessment questionnaire.","volume":"107","author":"Froehlich","year":"2001","journal-title":"Pediatrics"},{"issue":"1","key":"2021120900001322300_B4","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"13","DOI":"10.1542\/pir.31-1-13","article-title":"Pediatric tuberculosis.","volume":"31","author":"Cruz","year":"2010","journal-title":"Pediatr Rev"},{"key":"2021120900001322300_B5","unstructured":"Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.
