Although well described for the adult population, this complication is rare among children and to our knowledge, no such case has been described since the widespread introduction of antitubercular therapy in the 1950s. This case underscores the importance of appropriate follow‐up and administration of chemoprophylaxis after TB exposure. Pediatr Pulmonol. 2013; 48:206–209. © 2012 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.</jats:p>
