Area of Science:

  • Pathology
  • Oncology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Lymphadenopathy is a common clinical sign requiring accurate diagnosis.
  • Understanding regional disease prevalence is crucial for effective healthcare.
  • The etiology of lymphadenopathy can be diverse, including infections and malignancies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the most frequent causes of lymphadenopathy in Trinidad.
  • To analyze diagnostic lymph node biopsy findings.
  • To investigate the role of specific viruses in lymphadenopathy.

Main Methods:

  • Retrospective analysis of 651 diagnostic lymph node biopsies.
  • Histopathological examination of tissue samples.
  • Review of clinical data and etiological factors.

Main Results:

  • Non-specific reactive hyperplasia was the most common finding.
  • Tuberculous lymphadenitis was found to be rare.
  • A high prevalence of Non-Hodgkin's lymphomas was observed.

Conclusions:

  • The spectrum of lymphadenopathy in Trinidad differs from other regions.
  • Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is a significant cause of lymphadenopathy in this population.
  • Further research into viral etiologies like human T cell leukemia/lymphoma virus is warranted.
