title: [Tuberculous lymphadenitis--the most frequent symptom of extra-pulmonary tuberculosis].
abstract: The work reports about the recently detected forms of tbc of skin and peripheral lymphnodes, which were confirmed in patients of the Dermatology Department of UTaRCH, Bratislava, Podunajské Biskupice in the period 1981-1989. From the total of 221 newly detected diseases the lymphadenitis or tbc cutis colliquativa occurred in 171 patients (77.4%). The lymphadenitis was confirmed in 140 patients (63.4%). Lymphadenitis, or scrofuloderma (tbc cutis colliquativa) most frequently inflicted the cervical subcutaneous lymphnodes--in 140 patients (81.9%). Unilateral infliction of lymphnodes prevailed. Incidence of these diseases was significantly higher in women (76%) than in men (24%). Within the process of differential diagnostics, in cases with inflicted peripheral subcutaneous lymphnodes it is necessary to take into consideration the possibility of their tuberculous etiology.
