Study of M.Tuberculosis and Non-Tuberculous Mycobacterium in Subacute Necrotizing Lymphadenitis Using Multiplex PCR
Published Online: Jun 30, 2003
Abstract
Subacute necrotizing lymphadenitis is a self-limiting disorder that typically affects cervical lymph nodes of young women. Although autoimmune reaction and a viral etiology have been suggested, the definite cause has been uncertain. We evaluated the association of M. tuberculosis and non-tuberculous mycobacterium with this disorder.
From 1994 to 2002, Clinicopathological findings of 38 cases were reviewed. Multiplex nested PCR was done using DNA extracted from paraffin-embedded tissue. Sequencing analysis was done to the cases showing positive band.
