[Specific features of tuberculosis of peripheral lymph nodes with specific process in the respiratory organs].

102 patients with verified tuberculosis of the peripheral lymph nodes (TPLN), including 40 patients with specific process in the respiratory apparatus, were examined. The lymph nodes of the neck were found to be primarily affected in such patients (89%); by the 2nd month, conglomerates develop from such nodes, with the latter evolving into fistulas (44.4%) and into abscesses (40%).

[Surgery on tuberculosis lymphatic system and abdominal organs].
