Health experts are concerned about the high incidence of tuberculosis (TB) among Filipino children.


Dr. Yolanda Oliveros, National Center for Disease Prevention and Control head, said TB meningitis is among the top 10 killers of Filipino children based on the mortality surveillance of the Department of Health (DOH) during the past five years.


"It is really alarming," she said. TB in children is commonly known in the Philippines as "primary complex."
