[Comment] Surgical and endoscopic management of paediatric pulmonary tuberculosis: a case for decompression

Lymphobronchial tuberculosis is the most common manifestation of intrathoracic tuberculosis disease in children, often causing airway compression and downstream parenchymal pathology1 and requiring timely intervention to prevent progression to irreversible lung destruction. Airway compression can be severe in young infants, necessitating urgent and life-saving intervention.2 Although pharmacological therapy is the cornerstone of airway compression management, surgical and bronchoscopy procedures can be life-saving for patients with severe disease or complications.
