Tuberculous adenitis is a condition where the organs that contain cells that fight infections (lymph nodes) get invaded by the bacteria that causes TB, grow and multiply inside there. This condition presents an enlargement of the lymph nodes mainly in the neck but may also occur in the armpits and groin. Sometimes they form pus and this pus may sometimes burst out and drain through the skin.
