  • Chronic, nontender cervical lymphadenopathy is a key clinical sign warranting consideration of mycobacterial causes.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive review of mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis.
  • To cover epidemiology, bacteriology, diagnostics, and treatment.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of current data on mycobacterial cervical lymphadenitis.
  • Synthesis of information on tuberculous and nontuberculous mycobacterial species.

Main Results:

  • Increasing incidence of mycobacterial infections necessitates awareness.
