OBJECTIVES The aims of this study were to determine predictive factors of paradoxical reaction in patients with cervical lymph node tuberculosis (TB) and to discuss the therapeutic management of this condition. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was performed of 501 patients managed for cervical lymph node TB over a period of 12 years (from January 2000 to December 2011). Statistical data were analyzed using IBM SPSS Statistics version 20.0. RESULTS Paradoxical reaction occurred in 67 patients (13.4%), with a median delay to onset after starting TB treatment of 7 months. Lymph node size ≥3cm and associated extra-lymph node TB were independently associated with paradoxical reaction. Treatment consisted of surgical excision (71.6%), restarting quadruple therapy (10.4%), reintroduction of ethambutol (23.8%), and addition of ciprofloxacin (20.8%); steroids were given in two cases . All patients recovered after an average treatment duration of 14.91±7.03 months. CONCLUSION The occurrence of paradoxical reaction in cervical lymph node TB seems to be predicted by associated extra-lymph node TB and a swelling size ≥3cm. The treatment of paradoxical reaction remains unclear and more randomized trials are necessary to improve its management.

par une bithérapie pour une durée totale moyenne de 15 mois. L’évolution était favorable dans tous les cas avec une guérison clinique, un nettoyage radiologique et une négativation des bascilloscopies. Conclusion La tuberculose broncho-pulmonaire pseudotumorale est une forme rare qui peut survenir chez l’immunocompétent. La tomodensitométrie reste insuffisante pour la différencier du CBP. Le diagnostic est souvent difficile du faite de la présentation clinique et radiologique pouvant simuler une tumeur et de la négativité habituelle des prélèvements bactériologiques.
