Adequate nutrition improves risk prediction, treatment outcomes, and helps identify children for TB-preventive treatment. We aimed to identify current evidence on food intake and nutrition, compare it with guidelines, and describe how nutrition is integrated into care for children with pulmonary TB. Methods: We a scoping review adhering to Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) of peer-reviewed and gray literature from January 2013 to March 2026. Results: We found limited evidence: 16 research articles, six supplementary records, and two guideline documents. Evidence on nutrition in pediatric pulmonary TB remains insufficient. Many studies included nutritional status in clinical assessment. Few studies examined household food assistance. Conclusions: Rigorous studies are needed to build evidence and translate it into practice to improve outcomes and prevent malnutrition in children with pulmonary TB.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/nu18162651","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]],"date-time":"2026-08-13T17:01:35Z","timestamp":1786640495000},"page":"2651","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":0,"title":["Food Intake and Nutrition in Children Undergoing Treatment for Pulmonary Tuberculosis: A Scoping Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"18","author":[{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-8700-2185","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Muhammad Rizal Martua","family":"Damanik","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine and Nutrition, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-6931-6650","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Guntari","family":"Prasetya","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Doctoral Study Program in Nutrition Science, Faculty of Medicine and Nutrition, IPB University, Bogor 16680, Indonesia"},{"name":"Department of Nutrition, STIKes Mitra Keluarga, Bekasi 17113, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-9965-778X","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Bayu Satria","family":"Wiratama","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Biostatistics, Epidemiology, and Population Health, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mohammad Hendra Setia","family":"Lesmana","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Mental and Community Nursing, Faculty of Medicine, Public Health and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0001-5479-3665","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Susaldi","family":"Susaldi","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Faculty of Medicine, Public Health, and Nursing, Universitas Gadjah Mada, Yogyakarta 55281, Indonesia"},{"name":"Faculty of Health Sciences, Universitas Indonesia Maju, Jakarta 12610, Indonesia"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2026,8,13]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","unstructured":"World Health Organization (2024).
