- Abstract
The diagnosis and therapy of tuberculosis involving peripheral lymph nodes is discussed in a series of thirthy patients. Diagnosis is best made by both bacteriological and histologic study. Therapy is best effected by combining medical tuberculostatics with operative intervention. Epithelioid cell or proliferative forms of lymph node tuberculosis best respond to medical management.
