“…The selected articles -according to the established eligibility criteria -, and analyzed, after completing the review phases, are presented in Tables 1 and 2. All were case report studies; one of the articles was a case series, in a total of 18 patients [13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30].…”

Leprosy and tuberculosis are endemic in several countries. The aim of this study was to describe factors associated with co-infection among both diseases. A systematic review was carried out, following the Quality of Reporting of Meta-analyses, with the PubMed and Biblioteca Virtual em Saúde (BVS) portals as sources, under eligibility criteria: cross-sectional, cohort, case-control studies or case reports, published in Portuguese, English, French and Spanish, from 2015 to 2020. Studies that dealt with leprosy and tuberculosis not in the context of co-infection were excluded. The initial phase resulted in 1079 articles; 13 went on to a final stage. All were case reports. Thirteen (72.2%) participants were male, aged between 17 and 72 years. Life habits were found in 8 (44.4%) of the articles: 1 (12.5%) reported chronic alcoholism, 1 (12.5%) reported chronic smoking and alcoholism and 1(12.5%) reported chronic smoking, alcoholism and use of illicit drugs. Pathological history was mentioned by 14 (77.8%) patients; 1 (7.1%) reported HIV/AIDS. Three patients (16.6%) described previous history of tuberculosis and/or leprosy. Seven (38.9%) participants reported vaccination with Bacillus Calmette-Guérin. The pulmonary form of tuberculosis predominated and one third of the patients presented resistance to, at least, one tuberculostatic. All cases had multibacillary leprosy. The study did not highlight any comorbidity, and there was no change in the course of the conditions owing to co-infection.

“…There are sporadic reports of patients with concomitant leprosy and tuberculosis in the literature. However, a recent review of the literature reveals a decreasing trend, in recent times 4 . Reduced cell mediated immunity, especially in multibacillary leprosy patients, can lead to reactivation of latent TB or super‐infection with TB.…”

Tuberculosis and leprosy remain endemic in developing countries of the world, but concomitant infection with tuberculosis and leprosy in the same individual are rarely seen in the modern era. This is a report of co‐infection by tuberculosis in a known case of leprosy, diagnosed on cytology and confirmed by performing conventional polymerase chain reaction using cell scrapings obtained from the stained cytology smears.

“…Primary infection can also affect the pharynx, cervical lymph node, intestine, or oral mucosa 2 . The salivary glands can also be affected 7 or the disease can be seen as tuberculous osteomyelitis of the mandible with cervical tuberculous lymphadenitis 6,8 .…”

SummaryBackground/Aim: Our aim is to describe multidisciplinary approach to primary tuberculous lymphadenitis with a case report.Case Report: A 6-year-old boy was referred to İstanbul University, Faculty of Dentistry, Department of Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery with the symptoms of painless extra-oral abscess and lymphadenopathy. The diagnosis of primary tuberculous lymphadenitis was proved by microbiological culture and ultrasound imaging.Conclusions: Combine tuberculosis treatment should be applied and long term follow up is necessary. Excisional biopsy for tissue diagnosis and bacterial examination with culture should be performed for an early diagnosis as a delay in treatment can lead to devastating consequences.
