Article Synopsis
- Cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis (CTL), also known as scrofula, arises from tuberculosis and is especially common in developing countries, but can also be found in developed nations.
- Diagnosing CTL is challenging due to its similarity to other conditions, leading clinicians to favor traditional RIPE therapy (rifampin, isoniazid, pyrazinamide, ethambutol) over aggressive surgical options due to potential severe complications.
- A rare side effect of isoniazid, a component of RIPE therapy, may be the development of acanthosis nigricans, as illustrated by a case of a young man from Nepal who experienced this skin condition likely as a result of the medication.
