  • Accurate and timely diagnosis is crucial for effective treatment.
  • Diagnostic strategies for tuberculous lymphadenitis can vary.

Purpose:

  • To evaluate clinical, radiographic, and laboratory findings in tuberculous lymphadenitis.
  • To analyze diagnostic strategies for tuberculous lymphadenitis.
  • To propose an optimized diagnostic pathway.

Summary:

  • This retrospective study analyzed 16 HIV-negative patients with tuberculous lymphadenitis.
  • Positive PPD skin tests were observed in all patients.
  • Fine-needle aspiration yielded more positive M. tuberculosis cultures than surgical biopsy.

  • A lack of a systematic diagnostic strategy was identified.

    • Impact:

    • The study suggests a standardized diagnostic procedure for tuberculous lymphadenitis.
    • Recommended initial steps include PPD skin test and fine-needle aspiration for smear, culture, and cytology.
    • Surgical biopsy is advised only when fine-needle aspiration results are inconclusive.
