Tuberculous lymphadenitis, a form of extrapulmonary tuberculosis, occurred in 8.4% of cases. Standard chemotherapy proved effective, with 75% of patients showing satisfactory outcomes after six months of treatment.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Pulmonology

Context:

  • Tuberculous lymphadenitis represents a significant portion of extrapulmonary tuberculosis cases.
  • Diagnosis involves identifying Mycobacterium tuberculosis and assessing PPD reactivity.
  • This study examines clinical observations and treatment outcomes.

Purpose:

  • To report the incidence and clinical characteristics of tuberculous lymphadenitis.
  • To evaluate the efficacy of standard chemotherapy for this condition.
  • To assess treatment outcomes and patient recovery rates.

Summary:

  • Mycobacterium tuberculosis was the causative agent in all observed tuberculous lymphadenitis cases.
  • A high prevalence of PPD (purified protein derivative) positivity was noted.
