Tuberculous lymphadenitis and Horner’s syndrome
Robert Freercks, Mark W Sonderup
Abstract
Given the significant disease burden of tuberculosis (TB) and TB/HIV co-infection in South Africa, disseminated TB and tuberculous lymphadenitis are common and important causes of morbidity. Despite this relationship, Horner’s syndrome secondary to tuberculous lymph node compression of sympathetic nerves is rare.
