Tuberculous lymphadenitis is one of the most common extrapulmonary manifestations of tuberculosis. The most common lymph nodes involved are in the cervical region. Lymphadenitis due to M. tuberculosis generally presents with enlarging neck lymph nodes over weeks or months associated with fever, weight loss and fatigue. Fine needle aspiration (FNA) of affected lymph nodes has been shown to yield...

Surgical biopsies of lymphnodes of 315 patients (273 adult and 42 children) were reviewed microscopically and analysed. The sex ratio was similar in adults but in children males were twice than female (2:1). Ethnically Malay patients predominated in both the groups. The commonest cause of biopsied lymphadenopathy in adults were malignancy (47%) followed by chronic nonspecific lymphadenitis (20%...

Adult T-cell leukemia/lymphoma (ATL) sometimes causes opportunistic infections. A 53-year-old woman with systemic lymphadenopathies was diagnosed with ATL by inguinal lymph node biopsies and underwent oral chemotherapy. Two months later, high grade fever, lower abdominal pain and lymphadenopathy recurred. Computed tomography revealed the presence of lymphadenopathy with marked gas formation in ...

A leishmaniose cutânea causada por Leishmania major é uma zoonose pelo protozoário do gênero Leishmania. doença caracterizada surgimento de lesões cutâneas pequenas, forma arredondada, profunda, avermelhada que podem crescer progressivamente.

Background: Tuberculosis is a major public health problem in India and one of the main causes of lymphadenopathy. However, anti-tubercular treatment cannot be given only on clinical suspicion. Cytomorphology with acid fast staining proves to be a valuable tool in diagnosing these cases. Aim: To assess the role of FNAC in diagnosing tuberculous lymphadenitis and also to study the role of repeat ...

INTRODUCTION Tuberculous lymphadenitis is the most frequent form of extrapulmonary tuberculous. Although nucleic acid amplification assays such as polymerase chain reaction have recently become mainstream techniques for diagnosing tuberculous lymphadenitis, they are still not routinely performed in developing countries because of their high costs and complicated procedures. CASE PRESENTATION ...

Most cases of mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children are caused by non-tuberculous mycobacteria, previously called the atypical mycobacteria. It is important to differentiate non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis from tuberculous lymphadenitis as the treatment is different. We reviewed 19 children (12 girls and seven boys) with non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis to define likely...

case presentation we presented a case of tb lymphadenitis in association with celiac disease that mimicked kfd in a young child. conclusions celiac disease, also known as gluten-sensitive enteropathy and nontropical sprue, is an autoimmune disease with chronic inflammation of small intestine, which is associated with increased risk of tb infection. tb lymphadenitis can mimic kfd. therefore, in ...

Using flow cytometry, we evaluated the frequencies of CD4(+) and CD8(+) T cells and Foxp3(+) regulatory T cells (Tregs) in mononuclear cells in the jejunum, colon, and cervical and mesenteric lymph nodes of dogs naturally infected with Leishmania infantum and in uninfected controls. All infected dogs showed chronic lymphadenitis and enteritis. Despite persistent parasite loads, no erosion or ul...

Tuberculous lymphadenitis continues to be one of the most common causes of lymphadenitis. FNAC avoids the physical and psychological trauma occasionally encountered after biopsy, general anaesthesia, a surgical operation and hospitalisation. We wanted to study the utility and limitations of FNAC in tuberculous lymphadenitis. Total 1272 FNAC cases with enlarged superficial lymphnodes were includ...
