BACKGROUND In Ethiopia where there is no strong surveillance system and diagnostic facilities are limited, the real burden of tuberculosis (TB) lymphadenitis is not well known. Therefore, we conducted a study to estimate the prevalence of TB lymphadenitis in Southwest Ethiopia. METHODS A community based cross-sectional study was conducted from February to March 2009 in the Gilgel Gibe field r...

we carried out prospective study on 121 cases of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis during a 5-years period (1990-1995) in order to determine the correlation between clinical, histological and microbiological finding in establishing the tuberculous lymphadenitis diagnosis. biopsy was done in 96 cases, of which 93 specimens (96%) were compatible with tuberculous lymphadenitis, with 17 cases posi...

Background: TB lymphadenitis is still a problem that needs serious treatment. In Indonesia, it was reported 53% of cases were extrapulmonary tuberculosis, with the most being Lymphadenitis TB, 11.6%. children, 43% tuberculosis are lymphadenitis. Diagnosis quite difficult; method determining diagnosis and appropriate comprehensive treatment required in managing Lymphadenitis. Materials Methods: ...

OBJECTIVE To evaluate the role of fine-needle aspiration cytology in the diagnosis of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV)-associated lymphadenopathy. DESIGN Case series. SETTING Tertiary care teaching hospital, India. PATIENTS Fifty consecutive HIV-positive patients, who presented with lymphadenopathy at the out-patient department and antiretroviral therapy clinic. RESULTS Tubercular lym...

Background: Purulent cervical lymphadenitis presents with different manifestations such as fever and Erythema of the skin at the site of infection. The appropriate treatment for purulent lymphadenitis are antibiotics. If there is no response to antibiotic treatment, other causes should be considered, including uncommon infectious causes (for example Mycobacterium infections or fungal infections...

Lymphadenopathy refers to any disease process involving lymph nodes that are abnormal in size and consistency. Lymphadenitis specifically refers to lymphadenopathies that are caused by inflammatory processes. Cervical lymphadenopathy is a common problem in the pediatric age group and is largely inflammatory and infectious in etiology. Although most patients are treated successfully by their pri...

We report the first description of CT findings of axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis confirmed by the pathological specimen. The breast cancer screening examination is one of the prime methods of detection of axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis. The most common site of axillary tuberculous lymphadenitis is the deep axilla. Screening mammography often fails to cover the whole axilla. The presence...

Bacille Calmette-Guérin (BCG) lymphadenitis is the most common complication of BCG vaccination. Two forms of BCG lymphadenitis can be recognised in its natural course-simple or non-suppurative lymphadenitis, which usually regresses spontaneously over a period of few weeks, and suppurative BCG lymphadenitis distinguished by the development of fluctuations in the swelling, with erythema and oedem...

OBJECTIVES To describe characteristics of children developing Bacillus Calmette-Guérin (BCG) lymphadenitis, and to evaluate needle aspiration treatment. METHODS Children developing BCG lymphadenitis following BCG vaccination in Al-Rass General Hospital, Al-Rass, Saudi Arabia were prospectively studied from October 2008 to September 2013. Non-suppurative BCG lymphadenitis was conservatively ma...

OBJECTIVES The aim of the present study was to identify differences in clinical characteristics between patients with tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis and those with nontuberculous cervical lymphadenitis and to determine the diagnostic accuracy of fine needle aspiration (FNA) cytology. STUDY DESIGN AND SETTING Seventy-two patients with inflammatory cervical lymphadenitis were studied retros...
