Tuberculous Lymphadenitis
Reviewed by the medical team of El Doctor Editorial policy
The pulmonologist is one of the specialists who treats tuberculous adenitis, an inflammation of the lymph nodes caused by the tuberculosis bacterium, which frequently affects the nodes of the neck.
Unlike classic pulmonary tuberculosis, this form is located in the nodes and manifests in a slower, more silent way, so it can go unnoticed for weeks.
Common symptoms: The appearance of lumps or enlarged nodes, usually in the neck, which can be firm or soft, sometimes accompanied by low-grade fever, night sweats, and weight loss for no apparent reason.
When is a review advisable? With nodes that persist for several weeks without explanation or that keep growing. Discussing these findings with the doctor will make it possible to carry out the tests that confirm their origin and guide the next steps.
