Our retrospective research included 1165 children from 0 to 14 years with tuberculosis. Predisposition to development of tuberculosis of respiratory organs in children with the accompanying infectious pathology (90,3%) and with a combination infectious and somatic (93,6%) (χ²= 16,161, р = 0,000). The children with the isolated somatic pathology had the lowest indicators of a lesion of respiratory organs tuberculosis (84%). Extrapulmonary tuberculosis is bound to existence of somatic pathology (8%) (χ²= 9,598, р = 0,029).
