The
immune system includes the lymphatic system, which works in conjunction with
the circulatory system. One of the most frequent locations for extrapulmonary
TB to occur is lymph nodes. In addition to being the starting point for the
adaptive immune system, lymph nodes provide favourable environments for
Mycobacterium tuberculosis to proliferate and persist. The symptoms of
superficial tuberculous lymphadenopathy might range from a single tuberculous
infection to widespread Koch's disease or possibly an underlying significant
organ involvement. A comprehensive study is advised if a diagnosis of
superficial tuberculous lymphadenopathy is made since the lymphatic system
plays a significant role in systemic disease.
