title: [The diagnosis of tubercular lymphadenitis in the case records of the Institute of Pathological Anatomy of Siena University in 1970-1981].
abstract: A study of the diagnosis of the tubercular lymphadenitis was carried out. No significant difference of incidence was observed through the years in the considered period. Tubercular lymphadenitis was more frequent in males under 15 years and in females over 51 years. The mixed reactive and caseous type of tubercular lesion was the most frequent. Non reactive caseous lymphadenitis was significantly more frequent in the youngest males. Tuberculosis was clinically suspected only in 49.5% of the cases.
