(LTBR), case notes and laboratory data to identify the proportion diagnosed with microbiology data compared with histology data.Results324 patients were diagnosed with TB lymphadenitis from LTBR, of which 73% (235/324) had lymph node (LN) specimens taken for microbiological or histological ...
A cervical lymph node biopsy disclosed non-caseating granuloma negative for Mycobacterium tuberculosis by acid fast staining and culture. Sarcoidosis was diagnosed and the patient was treated with corticosteroids at a maximum dose of 60 mg/day for two months with complete resolution of the fever and...

2 TB is an independent predictor of rapid local spread, predictor of lymph node metastases, predictor of survival in stage II CRC, and worsening patient prognosis.2,3,4 Tumor budding is a phenomenon resulting from the loss of differentiation, uncoupling, and acquisition of more aggressive ...
Endobronchial ultrasound-guided transbronchial needle aspiration (EBUS-TBNA) is widely used to perform mediastinal lymph node sampling. However, little information is available on polymerase chain reaction for Mycobacterium tuberculosis (TB-PCR) using EBUS-TBNA samples in patients with intrathoracic granulomat...
