  • Title: [Peripheral lymph node tuberculosis in Djibouti].
    Author: Auregan G, Bichat B, Chakib S, Levagueresse R, Scaravilli P.
    Journal: Med Trop (Mars); 1988; 48(2):101-5. PubMed ID: 3405070.
    Abstract:
    153 well documented records, gathered in one year in a Tuberculosis Center, were studied. Adenoid localization represents on fourth of all tuberculosis, and 95% of all etiologies of peripheral adenopathies. Value of bacteriological tests is studied and compared to the one of histology. The almost sole presence of Mycobacterium tuberculosis hominis is an uncommon datum, interesting in the field of epidemiology. The recorded outstanding efficacy of modern anti-tuberculosis drugs is less known, perhaps because of scarcity of recent works on such localizations. Some easy and reliable guidance is proposed within the context of a Communicable Diseases Program.
