Abstract:
In the present paper there are reviewed some issues concerning tuberculosis (TB) in children in Romania comparative to The
Republic of Moldova. The data information came from specialized literature, national reports and statistics on TB
management and monitoring, incidence in children and budget expenditure. The obtained results showed the existence of a
large number of TB cases in children, even if this disease is considered eradicated in most European countries, but also a
downward trend for the new TB cases diagnosed in children between 2010 and 2014 in both countries.
