Article Synopsis
- A 62-year-old woman with chronic HCV infection was hospitalized due to painless swelling of lymph nodes in her neck and armpit, which began two weeks before finishing her treatment for HCV.
- She underwent extensive tests, including imaging and biopsies, to investigate the cause of her lymph node enlargement.
- The diagnosis revealed granulomatous lymphadenitis with types resembling sarcoidosis and tuberculosis, leading to a treatment plan involving a standard regimen of anti-tuberculosis medications for 9 months.
