Improving diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis by combination of cytomorphology and MPT64 immunostaining on cell blocks from the fine needle aspirates.
<h4>Background</h4>Extra pulmonary tuberculosis (EPTB) constitutes 18% of all tuberculosis (TB) cases and tuberculous lymphadenitis (TBL) constitutes 20-40% of EPTB. Diagnosis of TBL is challenging because of the paucibacillary nature of the disease.<h4>Objective</h4>To inves...
