Popis: Objective The objective of this study is to evaluate the feasibility and tolerability of new bacteriological samples to diagnose tuberculosis (TB) in HIV-infected children. Method and patients HIV1-infected children with suspicion of TB in Universitary Hospital Sourô Sanon (Burkina Faso) were included in a prospective cohort study. Children underwent three gastric aspirates (GA) if aged Results Sixty-three patients were included. Mean age was 8.92 years, 52.38% were females. Ninety-five GA, 67 sputum, 62 NPA, 60 stool and 55 ST had been performed. During sampling, the main adverse events were cough at 68/95 GA and 48/62 NPA; sneeze at 50/95 GA and 38/62 NPA and vomiting at 4/55 ST. On the behavioral scale, the average pain score during collection was 6.38/10 for GA; 7.70/10 for NPA and 1.03/10 for ST. Of the 31 cases of TB, bacteriological confirmation was made in 12 patients. Conclusion ST, stool is well-tolerated alternatives specimens for diagnosing TB in children. NPA has a poor feasibility and tolerability in children.
