Abstract

In Western Europe, awareness of tuberculous lymphadenitis (TLA) has declined. This report describes a patient who had suspected sarcoidosis for 3.5 y, who eventually died from miliary tuberculosis due to delay in diagnosis. The report includes a discussion of the differential diagnosis of TLA and sarcoidosis.
