Setting.
Contact tracing is broadly encouraged for tuberculosis (TB) control.
In many high-burden countries, however, little effort is made to identify contacts of newly diagnosed TB patients.
This failure puts children, many of whom live in poor crowded communities, at special risk.
Objectives.
To perform source-case investigations for 50 pediatric TB cases in Pune, India.
Design.
A descriptive cross-sectional observational study of pediatric TB cases < 5 years of age.
Information was collected about the index case and household contacts.
Results.
In 15 (30%) of the 50 pediatric index cases, the household contained known TB contacts, 14 (86%) of whom were adults.
Prior to their own diagnosis of TB, only one of the 15 pediatric index cases who met criteria for isoniazid preventive therapy received it.
The index cases with known household TB contacts had a longer delay in initiating TB treatment than those without TB contacts (17.5 versus 2 days; P = 0.03 ).
Use of contact tracing identified 14 additional household TB suspects, 8 (57%) of whom were children.
Conclusions.
This study identified missed opportunities for TB prevention, as contact tracing is poorly implemented in resource-limited countries, like India.
Further strategies to improve the implementation of TB prevention, especially in young children, are urgently needed.
