Abstract

Cervical-TB lymphadenitis is the most frequent extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis infection. There are limited documents (only five documents) on multidrug-resistant cervical tubercular lymphadenitis, but there is no evidence for MDR-cervical tuberculosis lymphadenitis in infants, which may occur in TB endemic regions.
