Disease [edit]. Scrofula is the term used for lymphadenopathy of the neck, usually as a result of an infection in the lymph nodes, known as lymphadenitis. It can be caused by tuberculous or non tuberculous mycobacteria.
The most usual symptom of scrofula is a chronic, painless mass in the neck, which usually grows with time. The mass is referred to as a cold abscess, because there is no accompanying local color or warmth and the overlying skin acquires a bluish-purple color. Scrofula caused by tuberculosis is often accompanied by other symptoms of the disease, such as fever, chills, malaise and weight loss.
