Abstract

This is estimated that about 1/3rd of world population is infected with mycobacterium tuberculosis and most of the cases in Asia (55%) and Africa (31%) rest in others. Extra Pulmonary Tuberculosis (EPTB) reversed the epidemiological trend over the last several years. EPTB was has been increasing in absolute numbers and in proportions of all reported TB cases. Since very less data is available on EPTB and its distribution especially from this part of India therefore this study has been planned to assess the pattern of EPTB and the role of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) in diagnosing these cases. This is a retrospective analysis of patients with peripheral lymphadenopathy and swelling on various sites.
