Comparison of Cartridge-Based Nucleic Acid Amplification Test with Fine Needle Aspiration Findings in Suspected Tubercular Lymphadenitis

Lymphadenopathy is a common but non-specific presentation of tuberculosis.Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology (FNAC) and Ziehl Neelsen (ZN) stain are preferred investigations of choice in evaluating lymphadenopathy.The aspirate obtained from FNAC may be used to perform a cartridge-based nucleic acid amplification test (CBNAAT).This study aimed to asses
