PR was observed more in younger age group (p> 0.05), female gender (p> 0.05), unilateral lymphadenopathy (p> 0.05) and those with positive AFB on initial examination (p< 0.01).Conclusion: Paradoxical response in peripheral lymph node TB is associated with younger age, female gender, unilateral lymphadenopathy and those with positive AFB on initial examination

📌 3 Key Takeaways

🎯
Objective & Hypothesis:Introduction: Many of the patients with lymph node tuberculosis show ‘Paradoxical Response” in the form of appearance of new lymph node (LN) or increase in the size of existing LN, development of new disease in other organ and worsening of the disease while on treatment.
📊
Key Findings & Data:We evaluated the pattern and predictors for paradoxical response(s) (PR) in patients with peripheral lymph node tuberculosis (TB).Materials and Methods: Study included patients aged > 6 years with peripheral lymphadenopathy of tubercular etiology attending a tertiary care hospital from Jan 2010 to Dec 2010.

Abstract

Introduction: Many of the patients with lymph node tuberculosis show ‘Paradoxical Response” in the form of appearance of new lymph node (LN) or increase in the size of existing LN, development of new disease in other organ and worsening of the disease while on treatment. Reason behind such response in only selective patients is not clearly understood. We evaluated the pattern and predictors for paradoxical response(s) (PR) in patients with peripheral lymph node tuberculosis (TB).Materials and Methods: Study included patients aged > 6 years with peripheral lymphadenopathy of tubercular etiology attending a tertiary care hospital from Jan 2010 to Dec 2010. PR in our study was defined as worsening of pre-existing disease or development of new lesions in a patient who has been on anti-TB therapy for at least 2 weeks. Results: One hundred ten patients with peripheral lymph node TB were included. Their mean age was 27.5 ± 5 years and 68 (62%) were females. PR occurred in 28 (25%) patients, at a mean onset time of 6 weeks (range 2-12 weeks) after starting anti-TB medication. Four of these 28 patients experienced PR on two occasions. Of these, 22 (79%) patients presented with enlarged lymph nodes only, 8 (29%) with new nodes at same or different site and 2 (7%) with discharging sinus. PR was observed more in younger age group (p> 0.05), female gender (p> 0.05), unilateral lymphadenopathy (p> 0.05) and those with positive AFB on initial examination (p< 0.01).Conclusion: Paradoxical response in peripheral lymph node TB is associated with younger age, female gender, unilateral lymphadenopathy and those with positive AFB on initial examination

Özet

Periferik lenf nodu tüberkülozu hastalarında paradoksik yanıtın özellikleri ve göstergeleriGiriş: Lenf nodu (LN) tüberkülozu olan hastaların çoğu yeni LN görünümü veya var olan LN'nin boyutunda artış, başka bir organda yeni hastalık gelişimi veya tedavi altında hastalığın kötüleşmesi gibi formlarda paradoksik yanıt (PY) gösterir. Böyle bir yanıtın sadece seçilmiş hastalarda olmasının arkasındaki sebepler halen anlaşılamamaktadır. Periferik LN tüberkülozu olan hastalarda PY'nin özellikleri ve göstergeleri incelendi.Materyal ve Metod: Araştırmaya Ocak 2010-Aralık 2010 tarihleri arasında etyolojisi tüberküloz olan periferik lenfadenopatisi nedeniyle üçüncü basamak hastaneye başvuran, >= 6 yaş hastalar dahil edildi. Var olan hastalığın kötüleşmesi veya en az iki haftadır antitüberküloz tedavi alan hastada yeni lezyonların gelişmesi PY olarak tanımlandı. Bulgular: Periferik LN tüberkülozu olan 110 hasta dahil edildi. Ortalama yaşları 27.5 ± 5 bulundu ve 68 (%62)'i kadındı. PY 28 (%25) hastada görüldü, antitüberküloz tedavi başladıktan sonra ortalama oluşum süresi 6 hafta (2-12 hafta arasında) bulundu. Yirmi sekiz hastadan dördünde iki kez PY görüldü. Hastaların 22 (%79)'sinde sadece genişlemiş LN'ler, 8 (%29)'inde aynı veya farklı bölgelerde yeni LN'ler, 2 (%7)'sinde ise boşalan sinüs görüldü. PY daha genç yaş grubunda (p> 0.05), kadın cinsiyette (p> 0.05), tek taraflı lenfadenopatide (p> 0.05) ve ilk muayenede pozitif AFB olanlarda (p< 0.01) daha fazla görüldü. Sonuç: Periferik LN tüberkülozunda PY genç yaş, kadın cinsiyet, tek taraflı lenfadenopati ve başlangıçta testlerde pozitif AFB olmasıyla ilişkilidir
