[Cervical tuberculous adenitis in the adult. Diagnostic, therapeutic considerations apropos of 27 cases].

The authors review 27 cases of cervical tuberculosis in the adult, complete and homogeneous and essentially describe their experience concerning positive diagnostic factors as well as their therapeutic approach. Considering the results obtained, they favour early surgical treatment ranging from simple adenectomy to complete and conservative cellulo-lympho-adenectomy which is the essential treatment of choice in multi-nodal forms. This surgical attitude makes possible to considerably shorten the duration of the local course by eliminating recurrences but on the essential condition that it is accompanied by prolonged medical treatment consisting of a triple association of major anti-tuberculous drugs.

[Aseptic adenitis in pyoderma gangrenosum].

INTRODUCTION: Extra-cutaneous manifestations of neutrophilic dermatosis are rare. Symptomatic cases are usually multiform and confusing. We report a case with an aseptic lymph node abscess associated with pyoderma gangrenosum. CASE REPORT: A 28-year-old woman with past history of pyoderma gangrenosum was seen for abdominal symptoms and fever related to an epigastric mass. Due to signs indicating abscess formation, surgery was performed and led to total regression of the symptomatology. Recurrence was evidenced 3 months later with skin lesions which were negative on bacteriological examinations. The diagnosis of lymph node manifestations of pyoderma gangrenosum was retained. General corticotherapy was very effective. Relapse occurred again 6 years later and was treated with thalidomide. DISCUSSION: Lymph node involvement has been described in Sneddon-Wilkinson's disease associated with pyoderma gangrenosum. In neutrophilic dermatosis, pulmonary manifestations appear to be the least exceptional of the extra-cutaneous lesions. The pathophysiology has not been elucidated although recent hypotheses suggest that G-CSF could be involved. Corticotherapy is remarkably effective in most cases but thalidomide could be an interesting alternative treatment.

[Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis adenitis in a shepherd].

Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis causes suppurative lymphadenitis in sheep and other domestic animals. Human infection has been reported in few instances. We report on a case of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis lymphadenitis in a human being. A 34-years old previously healthy shepherd was attended for presenting a painful lymph node in right groin with one year of evolution. Cultures of an aspirate and ganglionar tissue yielded growth of Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis in pure culture. Histological examination of the excised lymph node showed a suppurative granulomatous lymphadenitis with areas of necrosis in which there were clusters of bacillary organisms. After surgical excision and administration of erythromycin clinical signs disappeared without complications. We have carried out a review of the literature and we have found no case reported in Spain. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis lymphadenitis in human beings is a rare entity that principally affects persons in contact with animals, principally sheep. Most cases have been reported in Australia. In accordance with the reviewed literature this is the first time this disease is reported in Spain. Corynebacterium pseudotuberculosis infection should be considered in the differential diagnosis of localized granulomatous lymphadenitis.
