Abstract
AIM Non-tuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) lymphadenitis typically resolves spontaneously, yet factors influencing the duration remain explored. We aimed to identify clinical parameters associated with shorter spontaneous resolution. METHODS This cohort study included children with NTM lymphadenitis from 1 January 2015 to 1 March 2021 at Copenhagen University Hospital. Time-to-event analysis assessed clinical parameters associated with the duration of NTM lymphadenitis. RESULTS Sixty children (57% boys) with a median age of 24 months (range 11-84) were included; 13 (22%) received primary surgery, 13 (22%) underwent surgery after a wait-and-see period and 34 (57%) received no intervention. In children without intervention, the median duration was 10 months (range 2-25). Faster resolution was associated with parental-reported lymph node enlargement within 2 weeks (HR 2.3, 95% CI 1.0-5.0; p = 0.044), abscess on ultrasound examination (HR 3.3, 95% CI 1.5-7.3; p = 0.003) and skin discoloration and/or perforation within 3 months of onset (HR 4.3, 95% CI 1.3-14.4; p = 0.017 and HR 3.7, 95% CI 1.5-9.1; p = 0.005). CONCLUSION Knowledge of predictors for shorter spontaneous resolution of NTM lymphadenitis, such as rapid initial lymph node enlargement, abscess on ultrasound examination, and skin discoloration and/or perforation within 3 months of disease onset, may guide clinical management decisions concerning surgery versus a conservative approach.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Non-tuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) infection commonly manifests as subacute or chronic cervicofacial lymphadenitis in immunocompetent children. The optimal management of this pathology remains controversial. OBJECTIVES This international consensus guideline aims to understand the practice patterns for NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis and to address the primary diagnostic and management challenges. METHODS A modified three-iterative Delphi method was used to establish expert recommendations on the diagnostic considerations, expectant or medical management, and operative considerations. The recommendations herein are derived from current expert consensus and critical review of the literature. SETTING Multinational, multi-institutional, tertiary pediatric hospitals. RESULTS Consensus recommendations include diagnostic work-up, goals of treatment and management options including surgery, prolonged antibiotic therapy and observation. CONCLUSION The recommendations formulated in this International Pediatric Otolaryngology Group (IPOG) consensus statement on the diagnosis and management of patients with NTM lymphadenitis are aimed at improving patient care and promoting future hypothesis generation.

J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2021; 80:537-544. [PMID: 34758350 DOI: 10.1016/j.joms.2021.09.029] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.7] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/05/2021] [Revised: 09/24/2021] [Accepted: 09/27/2021] [Indexed: 10/20/2022]
Abstract
PURPOSE Information on long-term treatment outcome for nontuberculous mycobacterial (NTM) cervicofacial lymphadenitis in children is scarce. The purpose of this study is to evaluate long-term outcome for surgical treatment, which is the mainstay treatment modality. METHODS This case series describes recurrence rates of surgically treated NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis patients with a follow-up of at least 10 years. The current study data were partially collected from a randomized, prospective, multicenter, multidisciplinary trial (CHIMED study), which was conducted between 2000 and 2006 to determine the optimal treatment for NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis in children. After the CHIMED trial inclusion ended, our institute continued to serve as a referral center. This enabled us to enlarge the surgical CHIMED cohort by adding patients who were treated during 2007 to 2010 in our center and collect the rest of the current study data. RESULTS About 427 children with chronic cervicofacial lymphadenopathy were analyzed. Among these, 290 had microbiologically confirmed cervicofacial mycobacterial infections (n = 3 Mycobacterium tuberculosis, n = 1 Mycobacterium bovis, n = 286 NTM). Of these 286 children with NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis, 189 were treated surgically (median age: 41 months, range: 9-144, 46.0% males). The affected lymph nodes were excised in 151 children (79.9%), and curettage was performed in 38 children (20.1%). One patient (0.07%) experienced a reactivation/recurrence 2 years after surgical excision and required another surgical excision. Three children (7.9%) experienced infection reactivation/recurrences after curettage, confirmed by redness or a draining fistula, within the first year after healing. Two of these 3 patients were treated with additional surgical excisions. CONCLUSION The long-term outcome of surgical excision for NTM cervicofacial lymphadenitis is favorable with a low recurrence rate. Curettage or a conservative wait-and-see approach can be considered an alternative in advanced and surgically challenging cases. However, healing will take longer, and late recurrences are possible.

Abstract
OBJECTIVE Chronic cervicofacial lymphadenitis in children is often caused by nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM). Children with NTM infection who were not surgically treated were evaluated for long-term outcome with a follow-up of at least 10 years. RESULTS Among the 117 nonsurgically treated children, the median age was 46 months (range, 9-155 months), 56 were male (47.9%), and 61 were female (52.1%). Of the overall group, 75 received antibiotic therapy consisting of clarithromycin and rifabutin (64.1%), and for 54, observation (a wait-and-see approach) was chosen (46.2%). In 100 patients, treatment was considered successful (85%), with a median resolution of 24 (range, 11-134) weeks in the antibiotic group compared to 44.5 (range, 18-130) weeks in the wait-and-see group (P < .05). After 6 months, 58 patients in the antibiotic group were successfully treated (77%), whereas 42 patients of the wait-and-see group demonstrated complete resolution after a median observation time of 44.5 weeks (100%). In 10 patients who experienced complete resolution of the lymphadenitis, infection recurrence developed years later (10%). CONCLUSION Nonsurgical treatment of NTM infection can be considered an alternative in advanced and surgically challenging cases. However, healing will take months to years, and late recurrences are possible.

Cervicofacial non-tuberculous mycobacterial lymphadenitis: clinical determinants of incomplete surgical removal. Int J Oral Maxillofac Surg 2020; 49:1392-1396. [PMID: 32371179 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijom.2020.03.019] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2019] [Revised: 02/10/2020] [Accepted: 03/31/2020] [Indexed: 10/24/2022]
Abstract
In patients with non-tuberculous mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis, incomplete surgical removal of infected lymph nodes leads to delayed healing and a higher recurrence rate, with eventual spontaneous drainage through the skin. However, complete surgical removal is not always achievable due to the extent of the infected tissue and proximity to vulnerable structures, such as the facial or accessory nerve. The aim of this study was to identify the clinical determinants of the (in)ability to perform complete surgical removal. The electronic health records of patients aged 0-15 years with bacteriologically proven non-tuberculous mycobacterial cervicofacial lymphadenitis, who underwent surgical treatment and preoperative sonographic imaging, were analysed. This was a case-control study. A total of 103 patients met the inclusion criteria. Most of the infections were unilateral, submandibular, and caused by Mycobacterium avium. Multiple logistic regression analysis revealed that higher age (odds ratio 1.24, 95% confidence interval 1.04-1.47) and fistulization (odds ratio 3.15, 95% confidence interval 1.13-8.75) were significantly associated with a limited ability to surgically remove all infected tissue. However, a larger sonographic lymph node size was not significantly associated. These findings could aid clinicians when informing the parent(s)/guardian(s) of the patient preoperatively and in properly estimating the intraoperative and postoperative course.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION We report on our experience with surgical management of nosocomial Mycobacterium abscessus cervical lymphadenitis in the setting of an epidemic linked to a dental practice in the community. METHODS This is an observational case series of children who required surgical treatment of cervical lymphadenitis as part of multidisciplinary management of nosocomial M. abscessus infections. We describe the criteria for surgical management of cervical lymphadenitis as well as patient characteristics and outcomes. RESULTS Over 1000 children undergoing pulpectomies and pulpotomies at a local dental practice with a contaminated water source were identified as potentially susceptible to atypical mycobacteria infection, identified as M. abscessus. Between August 2016 and May 2017 108 children underwent inpatient evaluation at our institution by general pediatricians and pediatric infectious disease specialists. 90 children required at least 1 surgical intervention by pediatric otolaryngology and/or oral and maxillofacial surgery (OMFS). Children were evaluated by the Pediatric Otolaryngology service if computer tomography (CT) scan of the neck demonstrated lymph nodes of at least 1.5 cm in shortest dimension or lymph nodes with central hypolucencies suspicious for infection with central necrosis. Pediatric Otolaryngology intervened on 11 patients all of whom required selective cervical lymphadenectomy with or without curettage. These patients ranged in age from 3 to 8 years; 8 were male, 6 had concurrent pulmonary nodules. Two patients underwent curettage in addition to lymphadenectomy. Five patients required at least 2 surgical interventions by Pediatric Otolaryngology. CONCLUSION We found M. abscessus to be an aggressive infection requiring early cervical lymphadenectomy in select patients.

Abstract
The current document is based on a consensus reached by a panel of experts from the Chinese Society of Allergy and the Chinese Society of Otorhinolaryngology-Head and Neck Surgery, Rhinology Group. Chronic rhinosinusitis (CRS) affects approximately 8% of Chinese adults. The inflammatory and remodeling mechanisms of CRS in the Chinese population differ from those observed in the populations of European descent. Recently, precision medicine has been used to treat inflammation by targeting key biomarkers that are involved in the process. However, there are no CRS guidelines or a consensus available from China that can be shared with the international academia. The guidelines presented in this paper cover the epidemiology, economic burden, genetics and epigenetics, mechanisms, phenotypes and endotypes, diagnosis and differential diagnosis, management, and the current status of CRS in China. These guidelines-with a focus on China-will improve the abilities of clinical and medical staff during the treatment of CRS. Additionally, they will help international agencies in improving the verification of CRS endotypes, mapping of eosinophilic shifts, the identification of suitable biomarkers for endotyping, and predicting responses to therapies. In conclusion, these guidelines will help select therapies, such as pharmacotherapy, surgical approaches and innovative biotherapeutics, which are tailored to each of the individual CRS endotypes.

[PMID: 29773279 DOI: 10.1016/j.annder.2018.02.018] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 03/19/2017] [Revised: 01/07/2018] [Accepted: 02/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Cervical lymphadenitis is the most common manifestation of infection with nontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) in immunocompetent children. Nevertheless, it is poorly known by dermatologists. Its incidence, which is currently increasing since the cessation of BCG vaccination in 2007, raises several issues regarding its pathophysiology, diagnosis and management. PATIENTS AND METHODS We report two cases of NTM adenitis: one in a 2-year-old girl vaccinated with BCG and one in an unvaccinated 22-month-old boy, in whom a misleading presentation led to delayed diagnosis. The condition progressed to fistula formation and the diagnosis was finally made on systematic cultures of lymph node samples. The time to diagnosis was 2 and 4months, respectively. The girl was treated with erythromycin for 3 weeks and with clarithromycin for 3 weeks; the boy received clarithromycin for 7 weeks and underwent complete surgical excision. DISCUSSION NTM adenitis preferentially affects girls under 4 years and occurs more frequently in winter and spring. First, the other differential diagnoses, including tuberculosis, must be ruled out by chest radiography. The diagnosis is oriented by the clinical picture, a positive TST and resistance to conventional antibiotics. However, it is only certified by systematic culture or PCR of lymph node biopsies, with screening for atypical mycobacteria being specified. The decrease in child protection by BCG vaccination coincides with the current increase in NTM infections, of which the most frequent is Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) for cervical adenitis. The reference treatment is surgery. However, alternative treatments (incomplete excision, antibiotics, watchful waiting, etc.) should be considered where surgery fails or there is excessive risk of injury to a branch of the facial nerve. CONCLUSION Atypical mycobacterial adenitis in immunocompetent children has become an increasingly common infection since the abandonment of BCG vaccination. Improved knowledge of this disease would result in complete surgical excision at an early stage with a lower rate of aesthetic sequelae.

Experience from a tertiary care paediatric centre on non-tuberculous mycobacterial infections. Int J Pediatr Otorhinolaryngol 2018; 108:137-142. [PMID: 29605343 DOI: 10.1016/j.ijporl.2018.02.042] [Citation(s) in RCA: 12] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/31/2017] [Revised: 02/08/2018] [Accepted: 02/26/2018] [Indexed: 11/28/2022]
Abstract
OBJECTIVES Non-tuberculous mycobacteria are the most frequent cause of chronic lymphadenitis in children. We reviewed treatment and outcomes of paediatric patients with chronic cervical lymphadenitis, to better understand their differential diagnosis, surgical indication, complication and recover. METHODS A retrospective study was carried out on children who underwent surgery from 2013 to 2016 at Meyer Children's University Hospital, Florence, Italy. Time to cure, type of surgery, and complications rate were determined and etiologic agents were identified and correlated to their clinical presentation. RESULTS 275 children were evaluated. Nearly 98% of the patients were cured regardless of which therapeutic option was used and surgery was necessary in 38.2% of children. Complete excisional biopsy ensured recover in 97.7% of patients compared with the non-excisional surgical group 88.2% (p = 0.06). Re-interventions were needed in the 2.3% of complete excision group and in two cases of the incision and drainage group; all of them developed fistula and were caused by Mycobacterium avium complex. Excision followed by adjunctive antibiotic therapy was favoured in the majority of the patients (80.1%, n = 71). CONCLUSION In cases of non-tuberculous mycobacteria lymphadenitis, surgery is the treatment of choice and it is closely related to a favourable prognosis.
