Is Scrofula and Tuberculosis the same?

I came across this in my History Revision and I am not sure if they are similar diseases or are the same thing.

Thanks in advance.

Tuberculosis is most often thought of as an infectious disease of the lung, however can occur in any part of the body (especially in those with a weakened immune system e.g. HIV/AIDS). It is referred to as scrofula when it occurs in the lymph nodes of the neck.

The bacteria involved is Mycobacterium tuberculosis (in most cases).
