[Five cases of pharyngeal tuberculosis seen over a period of one year (author's transl)].

The authors report five cases of pharyngeal tuberculosis seen over a period of one year and which were all, with one exception, surprise histological findings. Such histological findings were not always completely specific and the diagnosis was confirmed by a strongly positive tuberculin skin reaction, pulmonary disease and, above all, the elimination of symptoms and physical signs in less than 3 weeks under the influence of specific antituberculous therapy.
