The goal of this cluster-randomized controlled trial is to evaluate the effectiveness of tuberculosis preventive treatment (TPT) administered during the "window period" to prevent new Mycobacterium tuberculosis infections in children and adolescents. The main question it aims to answer is: Can immediate TPT reduce the incidence of IGRA conversions in children and adolescents who are household contacts of a newly diagnosed pulmonary tuberculosis patient? Researchers will compare the incidence of new tuberculosis infections-measured by IGRA conversion at 12 weeks-between participants who receive immediate TPT while still uninfected (baseline IGRA-negative) and those who receive standard care, in which TPT is not offered to IGRA-negative contacts. Participants will be: 1. Tested for M. tuberculosis infection using the Interferon-Gamma Release Assay (IGRA), specifically the QuantiFERON-
