Keywords:
Tuberculosis, Cervical lymphadenopathy, FNAC, AFB.
Abstract
Background: Tuberculosis is a systemic disease with the possibility of involvement of multiple organs and lymph nodes.This study conducted to evaluate the usefulness of FNAC as a diagnostic tool in cases of cervical lymphadenopathy (CL) and to study the demographic burden. Methods: The present study on 608 patients of CL was conducted in the Department of Pathology Gandhi Medical College and Hamidia Hospital, Bhopal from January 2014 to May 2015. FNAC of the enlarged lymphnodes was performed with informed consent of the patient. Result: Out of total 608 FNAC done, 45 (7.41%) were having granulomatous lesions and 112 (18.42%) were having tubercular lymphadenopathy. Tubercular lesions and granulomatous lesions were found to be more in females, 77.78% as compare to males and that is more in Muslim females, 42.8% and 46.7%, respectively. Conclusion: Tuberculosis is common cause of CL. In contrast to other studies 0ur study showing more incidence in females as compare to males.References
