Characterization and management of paradoxical upgrading reactions in HIV-uninfected patients with lymph node tuberculosis.

چکیده
In a retrospective analysis, paradoxical deterioration of lymph node tuberculosis in human immunodeficiency virus-uninfected patients was common, occurring in 25 (23%) of 109 patients after treatment had been given for a median of 46 days (interquartile range, 21-139 days) and persisting for a median of 67.5 days (interquartile range, 34-111 days). We found no association between the use of steroids and the duration of reaction.

متن کاملSevere Paradoxical Reaction Requiring Tracheostomy in a Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)-negative Patient with Cervical Lymph Node Tuberculosis
During drug treatment of tuberculous lymphadenitis, paradoxical response (PR) may occasionally occur. Continued treatment or lymph node aspiration improves PR without severe sequelae. However, we report a case of severe PR in a patient with cervical lymph node tuberculosis causing airway obstruction due to retropharyngeal lymph node swelling during antituberculous treatment.
