Scrofula, or mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis, remains a persistent disease despite modern medicine. This study reviews five recent cases, highlighting diagnosis and treatment of this ancient condition.

Area of Science:

  • Infectious Diseases
  • Microbiology
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis, known historically as scrofula, is an ancient disease.
  • Despite advancements in treatment and public health, scrofula continues to be observed, albeit infrequently.

Observation:

  • The study observed five patients presenting solely with cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis over a decade.
  • These cases represent a rare but persistent manifestation of tuberculosis.

Findings:

  • The clinical presentation of these patients was documented.
  • Current diagnostic and treatment modalities for scrofula were reviewed and described.

Implications:

  • Understanding the persistent occurrence of scrofula is crucial for clinicians.
