Resumen

FERNANDEZ ARIAS, Manuel A.; VAZQUEZ VIGOA, Alfredo; SANCHEZ RUIZ, Julieta  y  PEREZ SUAREZ, Julio César. Ganglionary tuberculosis as fever of unknown origin: apropos of a case. Rev cubana med [online]. 2007, vol.46, n.4. ISSN 0034-7523.

Tuberculosis, both in its pulmonary and extrapulmonary form is a reemerging disease in the world associated with insufficiencies of the health control programs or with the acquired immunodeficiency syndrome. The mode of presentation of the extrapulmonary forms is related to constitutional symptoms that include fever, and to signs depending on the affected organ. The case of a stage III granulomatous adenitis, a group composed of those new cases of less severe forms of extrapulmonary tuberculosis with histopathological confirmation of the bacillus, was presented. Emphasis was made on the presentation as a FUO, on having the necessary criteria for having been admitted in another hospital for more than a month without a definitive diagnosis despite having been studied. The pressing need to search this diagnosis in every patient with febrile adenic picture and family history of TB was stressed.

Palabras clave : Tuberculosis; granulomatous adenitis; fever of unknown origin.
