[|Human|] Sir, I got tubercular lymphodenitis in july 2008.  A small lymph node was developed in the submandubular region. In montox test it was found positive. I undergone ATT . And the node was taken out with minor surgery. Then iv was ok then onwards. Now in january 2011  three nodes of small one cm diameter was developed on the survical region , I consulted a doctor and  tested my blood and mountox test my blood reports are negative for any disease and mountox test is positive. He told me that nothing to wory , these are nothing amd it has to be taken out by surgery, sir tell if anythig abnormal if I leave thoise nodes in my body like that. I dont want to go for surgery.
[|AI|]  Hi... One of the main cause of cervical lymphadenitis in India and developing countries is tuberculosis.  Since you have previous history of TB, this time the chances of you having tubercular lymphadenitis is high. If Contour test is negative, it does not rule out TB.  So, I would recommend a FNAC or preferably a BIOPSY of lymph node to confirm the diagnosis. If it comes positive for TB you need to take ATT for 9 months or if it comes as nonspecific inflammation, a course of antibiotics.
