A series of 12 children (9 girls, 3 boys) with non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis was reviewed to define the most frequent presenting features, helpful diagnostic measures and optimal management. The mean age at diagnosis was 42 months and cervical nodes in the submandibular region were most commonly affected. In most of the children the diagnosis was made on the basis of a positive intradermal skin test with specific antigens for atypical mycobacteria. The diagnosis was confirmed in all but one case by histopathologic examination. Total excision of the affected gland was recommended as the therapy of choice in the patients treated.
回顾了一组12例非结核分枝杆菌淋巴结炎患儿（9例女孩，3例男孩），以确定最常见的临床表现、有用的诊断措施和最佳治疗方法。诊断时的平均年龄为42个月，下颌下区域的颈淋巴结最常受累。大多数患儿的诊断是基于对非典型分枝杆菌特异性抗原的皮内皮肤试验呈阳性。除1例病例外，所有病例均经组织病理学检查确诊。建议对接受治疗的患者首选手术完全切除受累腺体。
