 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.
