    Tuberculosis lymphadenitis treatment requires antituberculosis therapy alongside surgery. Surgical excision alone led to relapses, while combined therapy showed no recurrence in adult patients.

    Area of Science:

    • Medicine
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Surgical Oncology

    Background:

    • Tuberculosis lymphadenitis is a significant clinical challenge.
    • Historically, surgical excision was a primary treatment modality.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To evaluate the efficacy of different treatment strategies for tuberculosis lymphadenitis.
    • To compare outcomes of surgery alone versus combined surgical and chemotherapeutic approaches.

    Main Methods:

    • Retrospective analysis of 43 cases of tuberculosis lymphadenitis in 32 adult patients.
    • Categorization of treatments into: lymph node excision alone, and lymph node excision with antituberculosis chemotherapy.

    Main Results:

    • 12 patients treated with excision alone experienced 10 relapses.

    Related Experiment Videos

  • 30 patients treated with combined excision and multi-drug antituberculosis chemotherapy had no relapses.

    • Conclusions:

    • Antituberculosis therapy is crucial for managing tuberculosis lymphadenitis.
    • Combined surgical and chemotherapeutic treatment significantly reduces relapse rates compared to surgery alone.
