Lymph node tuberculosis: a comparison of treatments 18 months after completion of chemotherapy.

Ninety patients with lymph node tuberculosis were treated with either rifampicin and isoniazid or ethambutol and isoniazid for 18 months, supplemented by sheptomycin for the first two months. No differences emerged between the two regimens, either during treatment or during an 18 month post-chemotherapy follow-up. In 7% of patients lymph nodes enlarged transiently after the end of treatment and in 7% enlarged nodes persisted. No patient required further treatment. One patient was left with an intermittently discharging sinus in an operation scar.

Use of ligase chain reaction for the rapid diagnosis of lymph node tuberculosis.

Ligase chain reaction amplification (LCx Abbott Laboratories) was used to detect the presence of M. tuberculosis in 101 adenopathy specimens obtained from 98 patients. A total of 30 cases of lymph node tuberculosis were diagnosed, and the data were compared with results obtained using conventional techniques. The sensitivity of auramine staining and culture were 50.0% and 66.7%, respectively. The sensitivity, specificity, positive predictive value and negative predictive value of the LCx assay were 80.0, 98.6, 96.0, and 92.1% respectively. The results confirm the reliability of ligase chain reaction amplification for the detection of lymph node tuberculosis.
