Cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis

Discussion:

Given the recent trip to Nepal, there was a high suspicion for TB. This was confirmed with a positive AAFB culture. 

The initial chest x-ray performed before diagnosis was reported as normal. However, interestingly, post 6 months treatment for TB, the mediastinum appears to have reduced in width.
