  • Objectives: Tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is a frequently recurring disease when treated with chemotherapy alone without enough surgical removal of the tuberculous lesions. Authors reviewed retrospectively the treatment result of antituberculous chemotherapy following almost complete surgical removal of tuberculous foci in the neck. Materials and Methods: A retrospective clinical review and analysis was made in 127 cases of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis patients treated during the past 10 years from 1989 to 1998 at the Department of General Surgery, Inje University Paik Hospital, Pusan. Results: 1) The peak age incidence was the 2nd decade(37.8%), and female was predominated over male by 2.3:1. 2) The time interval from the onset of symptoms to the first visit was less than 3 months in 60.6% of the patient. 3) The location of lymphadenitis was the right neck in 60%, the left neck 34%, and bilateral in 6% of the patient. 4) Signs on the first visit showed solitary masses(60%), abscess(25%) and both mixed(15%). 5) 25 patients(19%) had present or past history of tuberculosis; pulmonary tuberculosis 12 patients, tuberculous lymphadenitis 10 patients, and others 3 patients. 6) Locations of tuberculous lymphadenitis were posterior cervical triangle 70, supraclavicular 51, submandibular 19, anterior triangle 16 and others 4 cases. 7) The principle of treatment of cervical lymphadenitis was surgical management followed by chemotherapy. Surgical procedures were excision(s), curettage and drainage of abscess, combination of both, and biopsy in 60%, 22%, 12% and 6% respectively. Mean duration of antituberculous medication was 9 months after surgery. 8) The rate of recurrent and persistent tuberculous lymphadenitis was 9% in 4 years follow up. Conclusion: Tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is a frequently recurring disease in young adult when only antituberculous chemotherapy was employed without almost complete removal of the lesions. It is considered that antituberculous medications for 6-9 months after removing the foci at a maximal extent by surgical excision and curettage will reduce the recurrence rate or persistence of tuberculous lymphadenitis.

  • Background and Objective: The tuberculous lymphadenitis of neck is one of the most common extra-pulmonary tuberculosis in Korea. Although the incidence of pulmonary tuberculo-sis has decreased recently, that of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis has not decreased. In spite of great efforts and diversity of study, the exact criterias of diagnosis and optimal therapeutic methods of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis have been the subject of much debate and still remain unclear. So we intend to enucleate clinical manifestations and suggest the optimal therapeutic manners. Material : The 483 cases, diagnosed as cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis by fine needle aspiration biopsy during the past 10 years from Jan. 1987 to Dec. 1996 Method : Retrospective study Results 1) The overall rate of tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis was 23.4% of neck mass. 2) Incidence ratio of male to female was 1:2.7 3) The frequent location of tuberculous lymphadenitis was posterior cervical area, supraclavicular area, jugular chain in order. 4) The response rate of medical treatment in tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis was 84.9%. 5) The duration of medical treatment in remissioned group was 18.6 months in average. 6) Surgical intervention was needed in 15.1%. 7) The duration of post operative medical treatment was 18.4 months in average. Conclusion : Tuberculous cervical lymphadenitis is prevalent in women, age of 20-40 years and mainly involve posterior cervical area. Fine needle aspiration biopsy is a very useful method for early detection of cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis. After diagnosis is made, anti-tuberculosis medication is recommended for more than 18 months. Unless the size of neck mass is decreases inspite of the thorough anti-tuberculosis medication for more than 1 month or if complication like as abscess or fistula occurs, surgery is needed with post operative medical treatment for more than 12 months.

  • 목 적 : BCG접종 후에 소속 림프절에 발생하는 화농성 림프절염은 비교적 심각한 부작용 중 가장 흔하다. 대부분 치료를 하지 않더라도 결국은 퇴행되지만, 보통 몇 주 또는 몇 개월 동안 배농이 지속되어 매우 불편하고, 상당한 예에서 궤양으로 남게된다. Pan American Health Organization은 isoniazid 또는 rifampicin 국소 주입을 권장하였다. 이에 저자들은 BCG접종 후에 발생한 화농성 림프절염을 rifampicin 국소 주입으로 치료한 경험을 보고하고자 한다. 방 법 : 최근 3년간 대한결핵협회 결핵연구원 및 본원에서 BCG에 의한 림프절염으로 진단된 영아를 대상으로 하였다. BCG 림프절염은 동측의 액와부 또는 쇄골상부에 생긴 림프절염으로, BCG 접종 외에는 림프절염의 다른 원인이 없을 때 진단하였다. 화농하지 않고 림프절이 커져 있는 경우에는 자연 소실될 가능성이 있으므로 경과를 관찰하다가, 화농하면 자연적으로 파열되기 전에 주사기로 림프절을 흡인하고 rifampicin을 국소 주입하였다. 결 과 : BCG에 의한 림프절염 환아 37명을 경험하였다. 1) 림프절염의 양상 : 림프절염은 BCG를 접종한 후 대부분 4개월 이내에 발생하였다. 발생부위는 대부분 좌측 액와부였고, 쇄골상부에 생긴 예도 있었다. 크기는 대부분 2-3 cm였고, 5 cm 이상인 경우도 있었다. 2) 림프절염의 치료 : 37명 중 3명은 림프절염이 화농하지 않고 자연적으로 소실되거나 크기가 감소하였다. 화농하면 rifampicin을 주입하려고 경과를 관찰하다가 9명은 시술 전에 자연적으로 터져서 배농되어 드레싱만으로 치유되었다. 25명은 림프절염이 화농되어 주사기로 흡인한 후에 rifampicin을 국소로 주입하였다. 18명은 한번 시술해서 치유가 되었다. 7명에서는 한번 시술한 후에 다시 유동성이 생겨서 한번 더 시술하였다. 이중 1명은 두번 시술하였으나 크기가 더이상 감소하지 않아서 외과적 절제술을 고려하고 있다. Rifampicin 국소 주입 후 많은 경우에서 몇 일 이내에 배농이 없어지고, 그 이후 크기가 감소하였다. 림프절이 크면 일부에서 배농이 1-2개월 지속되었다. 결 론 : BCG에 의한 림프절염 중 일부는 자연적으로 소실된다. 화농성 림프절염으로 이행되면 침흡인 후에 rifampicin을 국소 주입하는 방법이 효과적이다. 즉 자연적 배농을 방지하고 비교적 빠른 시간 내에 림프절염이 치유된다.

  • Purpose: Tuberculous lymphadenitis constitutes about 30% of all types of extrapulmonary tuberculosis. Cervical lymphadenitis is the commonest form (70%), followed by axillary and inguinal. But inguinal tuberculous lymphadenitis is rare form. Especially isolated inguinal tuberculous lymphadenitis was seldom reported. In Korea, that case was not reported. This case emphasizes the need for awareness of tuberculosis as a possible cause of isolated inguinal adenitis. Methods: We experienced one case of isolated inguinal tuberculous lymphadenitis. We analyzed clinical features, preoperative assessments and method of treatments. Results: A 37-year-old female patient presented with a painless swelling in the left inguinal region of 12 month's duration. There was no history of urethral discharge, dysuria, genital sores, unprotected sexual contacts or trauma. Examination revealed enlarged left inguinal lymph nodes, $2{\times}1\;cm$, non-tender and firm mass. The external iliac, popliteal, right inguinal and other groups of lymph nodes were normal. Serologic tests, urinary tests and chest radiologic test were normal. The excision of mass was performed under the general anesthesia. A excisional biopsy showed chronic granulomatous inflammation with caseous necrosis, consistent with tuberculosis. After excision, the primary repair was done and completely healed on postoperative 25 days. Conclusion: The isolated inguinal tuberculous lymphadenitis was rare form of inguinal suppurative mass. Although medical management is the principal mode of therapy of tuberculous adenitis and surgery is rarely necessary, we didn't consider the possibility of tuberculous lymphadenitis in our case. A high index of suspicion is essential for a diagnosis of isolated inguinal tuberculous lymphadenitis. Our case emphasizes this importance and illustrates the need for awareness of tuberculosis as a possible cause of isolated inguinal adenitis.

  • Since 1972, a unique lymphadenitis called as subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis has been described in many Japanese literature. Originally described in Japan, it now appears worldwide. It mainly affects young women and usually manifests as fever and lymphdenopathy. The pathology is characterized by necrosis with loss of nodal architecture, infiltration with many histiocytes, and an absence of granulocytes. We report a case of subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis in axillary area. 4 10-year-old male child was admitted with a one-month history of fever, swelling in the axillary area. He treated with intravenous antibiotics. Despite treatment he remained febrile for the next ten days. 4 dissection of the axillary swelling was then performed, as was a diagnostic lymph node biopsy. The patient's condition resolved over several days and he was discharged.

  • Objectives : The purpose of this study is to report a case of nine-year-old female pediatric patient who had diagnosed as mesenteric lymphadenitis with abdominal pain. Methods : The patient was treated by acupunture (acupoint: Hegu(LI4), Zusanli(S36), Zhongwan(CV12), Tianshu (S25)), indirect moxibustion and herb medicine (Koakhyangjeonggisan-kamibang, Jakyakgamchotang Ex) for one week. We observed clinical progress. Result and conclusions : After oriental medical treatment, symptoms of mesenteric lymphadenitis (day and night abdominal pain, diarrhea) were improved. This study showed that oriental medicine can be a meaningful treatment for mesenteric lymphadenitis. For more accurate studies, further treatment cases would be needed.

  • Purpose: This study aimed to evaluate the usefulness of the needle aspiration alternative to open surgical drainage of children with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis requiring surgical drainage. Methods: From January 1998 to June 2008, we retrospectively reviewed 38 children treated with needle aspiration as management with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis instead of open surgical drainage. Results: All 38 children underwent only 1 puncture. Two patients (5.2%) out of 38 patients experienced reformation of an abscess and all recovered completely after re-treatment with antibiotics. Minor complications were detected in 2 patients (5.2%). One complication originated from remnant necrotic tissue and the other involved formation of a small scar in two patients, which resolved spontaneously. There were no major complications. Conclusion: Needle aspiration can be a simple, safe, and effective alternative procedure to open surgical drainage of children with suppurative cervical lymphadenitis requiring surgical drainage.

  • Bacillus Calmette-Guerin(BCG) lymphadenitis is a complication of post-BCG vaccination and its treatment is still controversial. Eighty patients who had been operated for BCG lymphadenitis from 1987 to 1996 were reviewed. Thirty-one of them were treated with antituberculous drugs(mean duration: 3 months) preoperatively and 49 patients were not given preoperative antituberculous medication. No one was treated with antituberculous drugs postoperatively. Operation methods were excision(72) and partial excision with curettage(8). There was no statistical difference in recurrence rate between groups In two patients(2.5 %) treated with preoperative antituberculous drugs, the lesions recurred after operation. The results suggest that preoperative antituberculous medication does not play any role in the treatment of BCG lymphadenitis and in preventing recurrence in surgically excised cases.

  • 목 적 : 초기 증상이 발열과 경부림프절종대인 Kawasaki병 환아와 경부 림프절염의 임상적 특징을 비교 관찰함으로써 Kawasaki병의 조기 진단과 치료에 도움을 주고자 하였다. 방 법 : 초기 진단이 임상적으로 경부 림프절염, 경부 농양, 비정형성 Kawasaki병 의증 등으로 치료받다 후에 임상적 진단 기준에 의해 Kawasaki병으로 최종 진단된 환아와 경부 림프절염 환아의 후향적 의무기록 조사를 하였다. 결 과 : 발열과 경부 림프절염이 주증상인 Kawasaki병은 일반적 Kawasaki병 보다 좀 더 나이든 환아에서 발생하였으며, 전신적 염증을 시사하는 소견이 더 높게 나타났다. 경부 림프절염 환아들과 비교하였을 시도 전신적 염증을 시사하는 소견이 의미있게 높았다. 경부 림프절염 환아는 항생제 치료 후 0~3.5일(평균 1.4일)내에 임상적 호전을 보였으나, Kawasaki병의 환아들은 항생제에 반응하지 않거나 다른 소견들이 나타나 입원 1~5일(평균 2.9일)에 감마 글로부린을 사용하였으며, 감마 글로부린 사용 후 평균 11.7시간 내에 발열이 소실되었다. Kawasaki병에서 심장에 나타나는 변화는 3례(20%)였으며, 림프절종대 유무와 관계가 없었다. 결 론 : 발열과 경부 림프절종대를 주소로 경부 림프절염 진단 하에 항생제 치료를 받는 환아 중 항생제에 반응하지 않는 경우, Kawasaki병의 검사실적 소견을 보일 때 다른 감염성 질환 외에 Kawasaki병을 꼭 고려해야 한다. Kawasaki병의 다른 임상적 소견들이 나타나는지 주의 깊게 관찰하여, 신속한 진단과 치료를 통해 심장 합병증을 방지하도록 해야 한다.

  • Regional lymphadenitis is the most common complication following BCG vaccination in this country. The literature describes controversial results with medical, surgical and combined therpy. The purpose of this study is to clarify the therapeutic effect of isoniazid(INH) after surgical procedures. The early and late postoperative complications of 136 children with lymphadenitis following BCG vaccination at the Taegu Fatima Hospital between March 1985 and February 1996 were reviewed. In 90 children, INH was given for 3-4 days before operation and for 3 months after surgery. In the other 46 cases, INH was not given during the pre- or postoperative period. Surgical procedures were excision or incision and currettage according to the states of lesions. Postoperative complications were fluid accumulation, wound infection, sinus formation and others. Complication rates were 14.4 % in INH-treated group and 13.0% of INH-nontreated group. The difference was not significant. There was no recurrence or other late complication in either groups. The result suggest that surgical excision or incision and currettage are sufficient for the treatment of regional lymphadenitis following BCG vaccination and postoperative INH therapy is not necessary.
