Nontuberculous lymphadenopathy in children: Using the evidence to plan optimal management

Abstract

Nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) lymphadenopathy in children is managed and seen by surgeons and paediatricians. Despite a wealth of literature (but only one randomised controlled trial [1]) publications continue to express uncertainty about the optimal management of these lesions [2]. This review explores the literature to provide a practical, evidence-based approach to their management. © 2011 Springer Science+Business Media, LLC.
