Necrotizing granulomas and langhan`s giant cells are typical of tb infection and you have been already been diagnosed with tb infection. The lymph node at the base of your neck is also part of the same disease. You have already been started on treatment and you should continue it without any lapse for 6 months or even 9 months under supervision of your treating physician.
