Abstract
Given clinical similarities it can be difficult to differentiate between tuberculosis (TB) and Hodgkin lymphoma. The diagnosis of tuberculosis is often difficult in children due to its non-specific clinical and radiological findings, lower sensitivity of the Mantoux tuberculin skin test (TST), low bacterial load and difficulties in mycobacterium isolation in children.Consequently, a trial of anti-TB treatment is often started in children. Careful monitoring and lymph node biopsy is highly recommended in order to avert a misdiagnosis of Hodgkin’s Lymphoma.
