Comparative evaluation of clinical, cytological and microbiological profile in abdominal vs. cervical lymph nodal tuberculosis with special emphasis on utility of Auramine-O staining

Conclusion: Cytological and microbiologic features of abdominal LNTB differ from cervical LNTB. Moreover, AO stain increases the smear positivity, is almost twice as sensitive as ZN stain and should be used as an adjunct in cytological material wherever available.
