FINE NEEDLE ASPIRATION CYTOLOGY FINDINGS IN LYMPHNODE OF HIV PATIENTS

R. Sindhuja, Dr. D. Rajeswari Thivya

Abstract


BACKGROUND

 Acquired Immuno Deficiency Syndrome caused by Human Immuno Deficiency Virus infection is one of the major public health problem. Extra pulmonary tuberculosis in the form of  node involvement correlates well with advanced HIV disease and low CD4 count.  Fine Needle aspiration Cytology has a well known role in the evaluation of lymphadenopathy in HIV- infected cases.

AIM

1.To find the various FNAC  findings in lymph node of HIV patients.

2.To correlate the various FNAC  findings with CD4 count.

3.To correlate the various FNAC findings with Acid Fast Bacilli stain

CONCLUSION:

           Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is an useful tool in identifying the causes of lymphadenopathy . Correlation of Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology finding with CD4 count and AFB staining helps the clinician to access the immune status of the affected individual.
