title: [Diagnosis and treatment of tuberculosis of peripheral lymph nodes in children and adolescents].
abstract: Among lymphadenopathies of different etiology, tuberculosis of peripheral lymph nodes was detected in 28% of cases in children and adolescents, as shown by our data. In its diagnosis in the children, the most informative methods include a morphological study of lymph node biopsy specimens and the results of experimental treatment. History data, clinical findings, and tuberculin diagnosis were also of great importance in verifying the disease. Lymphotropic administration of antituberculosis agents in patients with tuberculosis of peripheral lymph nodes enhances the efficiency of chemotherapy.
