[Tuberculous lymphadenopathy revealed by polyneuropathy. Causal relation or simple coincidence?].
We report a case of cervical and mediastinal lymphadenopathy revealed by a sensory-motor polyneuropathy of the lower limbs. A search for a cause was unsuccessful; the improvement following antituberculous treatment posed a question as to whether the polyneuropathy was tuberculous in origin or simply a coincidence.
