We describe child TB survivors\u2019 physical, emotional, and social post-TB treatment experiences, in a high-incidence setting in South Africa.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>METHODS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>An explorative qualitative study was nested within the Umoya TB cohort between June and September 2023. We used semi-structured interviews and participatory methods, including body mapping, to explore participants\u2019 physical, emotional, and social wellbeing. Data were analysed using a deductive thematic approach and a health-related quality-of-life framework.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>RESULTS<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Thirty semi-structured interviews were conducted with 15 children\/adolescents; median age 9 years (range: 5\u201315); 8 (53%) were male; 2 (13%) living with HIV, and 1 (6%) had multidrug-resistant TB. Most interviews were conducted with children together with their caregivers (N = 14). Interviews were done 11\u201361 months (41-month average) after TB treatment completion. All participants reported that TB significantly impacted their physical, psychological, and social domains, extending well beyond treatment completion. Children and adolescents perceived changes in their bodies like shortness of breath and physical pain following their TB episode, reporting various physical post-TB cure symptoms. TB-related stigma disrupted participants\u2019 social relationships, especially among adolescents. Broader underlying socio-environmental challenges exacerbated the long-term economic impact of TB on household financial instability.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>CONCLUSION<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The negative impacts of TB extend well beyond children and adolescents\u2019 treatment completion across multiple aspects of their lives.
