Background: Tuberculosis (TB) can infect both pulmonary and extra-pulmonary organs. In India pulmonary TB accounts for 80% of cases and extrapulmonary TB (EPTB) accounts for 20% cases. Cervical lymph nodes are the most location for EPTB. Aims and Objectives: To study the efficacy of treatment with oral steroids along with anti-tuberculosis treatment in cervical lymph node tuberculosis. Methods: A total of 60 patients were enrolled in the study all with EPTB and cervical lymphadenitis. These 60 study patients were randomised into two groups. Group-I consisted of 30 patients given anti-tuberculosis therapy along with prednisolone 1mg/kg body weight for 4 weeks followed by tapering at 0.5 mg/kg body weight over 4 weeks. Group-II was comprised of 30 patients given antituberculosis treatment plus placebo Results: After completion of treatment 27 patients in Group I (90%) showed complete resolution and 3 patients (10%) had residual evidence of lymphadenitis with no change. In contrast, only 19 patients (63.3%) showed complete resolution in Group 2 and 11 patients (36.7%) had residual lymphadenitis present (10 had no change, 1 had increase in size). Conclusion: We conclude that steroids given with antituberculosis treatment to patients with cervical lymphadenitis led to faster and earlier resolution of tuberculous lymphadenitis.

A case of nasopharyngeal tuberculosis with cervical lymph node tuberculosis is reported. The patient was a 20-year-old female immigrant from Vietnam and cook apprentice. Her chief complaint was left neck swelling with pain for three months. She was diagnosed with left neck lymphadenitis at a previous hospital, which suspected malignant lymphoma and referred her to our hospital. At the time of the first visit, she had left lymph swelling with tenderness and granuloma-like masses in the nasopharynx. PET-CT showed accumulations in both the swollen left neck lymph and nasopharynx. The diagnosis of this case would appear to be nasopharyngeal cancer with left and neck lymph node metastasis or nasopharyngeal tuberculosis with cervical lymph node tuberculosis in addition to malignant lymphoma. Based on some examinations (biopsy, bacteria culture, and imaging), it was diagnosed as nasopharyngeal tuberculosis with cervical lymph node tuberculosis. Therefore, she was treated with anti-tuberculosis agent in respiratory medicine.
