Is there a high rate of recurrence of lymph node tuberculosis?

The recurrence rate of lymph node TB is about the same as that of pulmonary TB. After regular treatment, the recurrence rate is very low, about 2%-3%, and some statistics say 3%-5%. The overall relapse rate after regular treatment is relatively low, but because the total course of treatment for lymph node tuberculosis takes about 9-12 months or more, it is inevitable that some patients may not be able to persevere in the process, so they may not complete the course of treatment, and the cure rate is lower, and the relapse rate is higher in the future. Therefore, once lymph node tuberculosis is diagnosed, it is important to go to a regular hospital for regular treatment, standardized treatment and completion of the course of treatment. A comprehensive treatment approach including surgical treatment is used to improve the cure rate and reduce the recurrence rate.
