Article information

Las enfermedades ocasionadas por micobacterias no tuberculosas o ambientales han aumentado en la última década. Se presentan 4 casos diagnosticados durante el año 2000. Todos los niños tenían entre 2 y 8 años de edad. Tres casos presentaban afectación de los ganglios linfáticos cervicales y un caso de los inguinales. El tratamiento en 3 pacientes fue una combinación de cirugía y quimioterapia y un caso con quimioterapia solamente. En este trabajo se comentan las principales características clínicas, hallazgos de laboratorio, indicaciones terapéuticas y complicaciones de las linfoadenopatías producidas por micobacterias no tuberculosas

Nontuberculous or environmental mycobacterial disease in children has been increasingly recognized over the last decade. We present four patients who were diagnosed in the year 2000. The children were aged between 2 and 8 years. Three patients presented involvement of the cervical lymph nodes and one presented involvement of the inguinal nodes. Three of the children were treated with a combination of surgery and chemotherapy and one was treated with chemotherapy alone. We describe the clinical characteristics, laboratory findings, therapeutic management and complications of nontuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis in children
