Description
Taiwo Oreoluwa Ajayi, Madan Sai Poka, and Bwalya Angel Witika review new ways to treat tuberculosis in children, published in 2023. Child cases differ from adult cases in how the disease spreads and how drugs move through the body. Yet children often get adult tablets, crushed or split, which can give the wrong dose. Bad taste also makes many children spit the drugs out.
The review covers child-friendly forms now in use and new delivery systems still in study. Tiny carriers built with nanotechnology could give exact doses and hide bad taste. The authors weigh strengths and gaps in this line of work and point to where studies should go next. Better forms could help more children finish their cure.
