[Tuberculosis of the lymphatic nodes and coexisting invasion with Toxoplasma gondii].
Six cases of the peripheral lymphatic nodes tuberculosis with positive serologic reactions to Toxoplasma gondii antigen are presented. It was shown, that independently of a complex of clinical examinations histologic examination is decisive for the diagnosis of lymphatic nodes tuberculosis with coexisting toxoplasmosis. A positive serologic reaction with T. gondii antigen in patients with lymphatic nodes tuberculosis may reflect inactive infection with T. gondii. Use of anti-toxoplasmosis drugs may be not necessary in such cases.
