The rare multidrug cervical tubercular lymphadenitis in an infant from Iran: A case report and literature review

Abstract

Abstract Cervical‐TB lymphadenitis is the most frequent extrapulmonary manifestation of tuberculosis infection. There are limited documents (only five documents) on multidrug‐resistant cervical tubercular lymphadenitis, but there is no evidence for MDR‐cervical tuberculosis lymphadenitis in infants, which may occur in TB endemic regions.
