AB The authors report the results of a retrospective and comparative study
of anatomo-clinical aspects of ganglionic tuberculosis carried out over
two periods of five years each: first period: 1962-1966; second period:
1988-1992. This study shows a higher prevalence of this disease among
children during the first period with an odd ratio of 4.36. In the
second period, young adults are the most affected particularly the age
group between 30 and 39. The possible role of the HIV virus in this
phenomenon has been pointed out. The most common histological forms were
the subacute ones with a distinct prevalence during the second period,
on the opposite of the acute and chronic forms.
