ABSTRACT

Introduction: Tuberculosis is an infectious disease that is considered a health problem in Mexico. In the last decades the incidence had go down, nevertheless in the late nineties and early two thousand we’ve seeing an increase of cases. One of each five patients with tuberculosis have and extra pulmonary site. Head and neck manifestation are primarily (95%) cervical adenitis, other localizations are larynx, tonsil, aear and nasal sinuses and salivary glands in less than 1% of each site. Objective: To determine different manifestation of mycobacterium in head and neck. Material and methods: We realized revision of patient with mycoberias in the department of Otolaryngology head and Neck Surgery of the Hospital General «Dr. Manuel Gea Gonzalez» from January 2003 to October 2013. Results: We evaluated 38 charts of patients with mycobacterial infections in head and neck. They average 37-22 years of age, 24% were pediatrics patients, 60% were females. The prime manifestation was cervical adenitis in 76% of the cases, 84% were located in the anterior triangle of the neck; three cases 12% were in the ear; two cases in the larynx and one in the thyroid gland another in the palate; which shows and increase of cases in compare to previous years. Conclusions: A high suspicion index is necessary, that’s why a study protocol have to be wide to discharge simultaneous site of incidence.
