Lymphographical findings are presented in three patients with verified tuberculosis. The diagnosis of tuberculosis was difficult in these patients because there were no actual changes in chest radiographs and the clinical findings were generally nonspecific. In each patient, lymphographic changes in lumbar lymph nodes were established. These changes corresponded to those described in the literature in connection with tuberculosis. Thus, the lymphographical findings can here be considered to be a further criterion for the diagnosis of tuberculosis. Lymphographical follow-up also proved beneficial in the follow-up of treatment results in one patient. Suspected tuberculosis, in which local findings cannot be made available by other means, can be regarded as one of the indications for a lymphography.
本文报告了3例经证实的结核病患者的淋巴造影检查结果。这些患者的结核病诊断困难，因为胸部X光片没有实际变化，且临床表现通常不具特异性。在每例患者中，均发现了腰椎淋巴结的淋巴造影变化。这些变化与文献中描述的与结核病相关的变化一致。因此，此处的淋巴造影检查结果可被视为结核病诊断的又一标准。淋巴造影随访在1例患者的治疗结果随访中也被证明是有益的。对于通过其他方法无法获得局部检查结果的疑似结核病，可将淋巴造影视为适应症之一。
