Non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis.

M P White, H Bangash, K M Goel

    Archives of Disease in Childhood
    |April 1, 1986

    Summary

    Non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children often presents with unilateral cervical lymph node swelling. Total excision is the preferred treatment, as antituberculous drugs are ineffective against these resistant organisms.

    Area of Science:

    • Pediatrics
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Microbiology

    Background:

    • Mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children is frequently caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM).
    • Distinguishing NTM lymphadenitis from tuberculous lymphadenitis is crucial due to differing treatment protocols.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To identify key presenting features of NTM lymphadenitis in children.
    • To evaluate diagnostic methods and determine optimal management strategies for pediatric NTM lymphadenitis.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective review of 19 children diagnosed with NTM lymphadenitis.
    • Analysis of clinical presentation, diagnostic test results, and treatment outcomes.

    Main Results:

    • The mean age at diagnosis was 5.2 years, with cervical lymphadenopathy being the most common presentation, often unilateral.
    • Most children lacked systemic symptoms and had clear chest X-rays; routine hematology and standard tuberculin tests were largely unhelpful.
    • Differential Mantoux testing showed potential utility, while antituberculous drugs proved ineffective against the resistant NTM strains.

    Conclusions:

    • NTM lymphadenitis in children typically presents with localized lymph node enlargement without systemic illness.
    • Total surgical excision is the recommended treatment of choice, rendering antituberculous chemotherapy unnecessary.
