TL;DR: PFAPA is a not uncommon cause of periodic fever in children and in some children the syndrome resolves, whereas symptoms in others persist, and long-term sequelae do not develop.
TL;DR: Miliary tuberculosis, erysipelas, and tuberculous adenitis have lesion-patterns characteristic of diseases spread by blood and lymph vessels, and modifications of the typical patterns are common.
Abstract: Miliary tuberculosis, erysipelas, and tuberculous adenitis have lesion-patterns characteristic of diseases spread by blood and lymph vessels. These three diseases represent three types of spread. In miliary tuberculosis, the arterial blood stream distributes multiple foci at random. In erysipelas, organisms invade a plexus of lymph vessels and multiply. As a result the primary lesion enlarges, colony-like, from its margins. In tuberculous adenitis, the organisms spread in lymph vessels to multiply in the regional lymph nodes and lymph node chains. Modifications of the typical patterns are common. For example primary lesions in the left side of the heart, or in the
TL;DR: In this cohort, 101 patients received a final diagnosis of peripheral tuberculous lymphadenitis, and eighty-two percent received their entire therapy under direct observation, and response to antituberculous therapy was uniformly successful.
TL;DR: A prospective study of 444 consecutive patients diagnosed as having acute appendicitis was carried out in a district general hospital as discussed by the authors, where the appendix was acutely inflamed, gangrenous, or perforated in 346 patients.
