Scrofula
Scrofula (scrofa, "a sow"), a term which has had various significations at different times, but which is particularly associated with conditions of anaemia and with glandular enlargements such as occur where there is development of tubercular mischief in lymphatic glands. Since knowledge of the local manifestations of tubercle has increased, the term "scrofula" has been less freguently used.
