Summary

Tuberculous lymphadenitis, a form of tuberculosis, can present with persistent enlarged lymph nodes. Early diagnosis through microbiological and histological examination of lymph node biopsies is crucial for effective treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Clinical Medicine

Background:

  • Tuberculous lymphadenitis is a significant extrapulmonary manifestation of Mycobacterium tuberculosis infection.
  • Diagnosis can be challenging, especially in cases without obvious pulmonary involvement.

Observation:

  • Three cases of tuberculous lymphadenitis are presented, all with positive tuberculin tests.
  • Two patients had minimal lung lesions, and one had BK virus in sputum.
  • Microscopic examination of lymph nodes revealed non-specific granulomatous inflammation, but microbiological tests were initially limited.

Findings:

  • Smear results from lymph node pus were negative in all patients.
  • Culture examination of lymph node material was positive in two out of three patients.

  • Persistent enlarged peripheral lymph nodes, particularly those with fistula formation, are indicative of tuberculous etiology.

    • Implications:

    • Suspicion of tuberculous lymphadenitis should be raised in cases of persistent lymphadenopathy.
    • Prompt microbiological and histological examination of lymph node biopsy material is essential for accurate diagnosis.
    • Timely diagnosis and treatment are critical to prevent disease progression and transmission.
