Lymph nodes are distributed along with the lymphatic system all over the body. Enlargement of lymph nodes (lymphadenopathy) may result from an infection, hyperplasia during the immunologic response, and sometimes also by infiltration by cancer cells or lipid cells. Lymphadenopathy may be regional or generalized and or caused by local or systemic factors. Therefore, the differential diagnosis of lymphadenopathy is critical. Oral physician during routine physical examination also includes the examination of any enlarged lymph node in the head and neck region. Lymphadenopathy may be the only clinical presentation or one of the few findings, and enlarged lymph nodes may often raise the suspicion of an underlying pathology like lymphoma, leukemia, and Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome (AIDS). This review focuses on the various causes of cervical lymphadenopathy, and the systemic approach to the differential diagnosis and the management along with the health care team.

“…Mycobacterium TB and considered a major global health issue worldwide with 8.8 million people developing TB annually [1,2]. Drug-resistant TB developed due to improper treatment or interruption of treatment [3], and according to the latest WHO estimate, it ranks as the second leading cause of death from an infectious disease worldwide after the human immunodeficiency virus. Most of the estimated number of cases in 2011 were reported in Asia (59%) and Africa (26%) [4].…”

Objective: The objective of this study is to assess the validity of latent tuberculosis (TB) as a predictor for TB of thoracic spine.Methods: This cross-sectional study involved 31 patients with osteoarticular TB diagnosed on the base of clinical features, magnetic resonance imaging, and tissue biopsy. Patients’ demographic and clinical characteristics of the disease were recorded. Latent TB was diagnosed by tuberculin skin test (TST) >10 mm. Results: The mean age of patients was 44.9 ± 19.0 years. Females were 17 (54.8) and mean body mass index was 24.6 ± 4.9 kg/m2. Thoracic spine was the highest osteoarticular TB site. Then, lumbar spine TB was 3 (9.7%) patients. Third in rank was TB of the knee joints 2 (6.5%). Cervical spine and hip joint TB were each one, 1 (3.2) patients, respectively. Validity of latent TB as a test to predict TB of thoracic spine revealed that if TST was positive, then this test will be accurate in 77.42% and we can establish the diagnosis of TB of the thoracic spine with 90.48% confidence if we had a clinical suspicion of TB of thoracic spine.Conclusion: There was a significant positive correlation between osteoarticular TB and latent TB. Thoracic spine TB was the most common osteoarticular TB infection compared to other sites. Patients who had latent TB have 9.5 times risk of having TB of the thoracic spine. Latent TB was a valid measure to predict TB of thoracic spine.

Tuberculosis (TB) is a chronic granulomatous infectious disorder, caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Despite the recent advancements in antitubercular therapy (ATT), it remains a global public health concern. TB is a leading infectious cause of global mortality, second only to coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19). TB of the oral cavity is an uncommon occurrence and may be classified as a primary and secondary form. The primary tubercular lesions are extremely rare, as the intact oral squamous epithelium resists the entry of tubercle bacilli. The commonest oral TB lesion is solitary ulceration with undermined edges, usually on the tongue, that does not exhibit healing with conservative therapies. Owing to the atypical presentation, the oral TB lesions often go unnoticed during clinical examination; hence, an oral physician should be familiar with the various oral manifestations of TB. A timely diagnosis coupled with interdisciplinary treatment is the key to combat disease dissemination. This manuscript aims to report a rare case of primary tuberculosis of the buccal and labial mucosa in a 43-year-old immunocompetent male patient. Buccal and labial mucosa are the infrequently affected sites for primary oral TB lesions. A detailed literature search carried out on the Google Scholar and PubMed search engines revealed only fifteen case reports and two case series of primary tuberculosis of the buccal mucosa and labial mucosa.
