Abstract
To study the clinical data and histopathological and microbiological correlates in clinical suspects of lymph node and bone tuberculosis. To study the pattern of drug resistance in microbiologically confirmed cases of lymph node and bone tuberculosis. In our study we observed the culture yield to be low due to paucibacillary nature of the disease in concordance with earlier studies. In immune compromised state like HIV and diabetes nongranulomatous histology in lymph node and spine TB were noted. Lymph node and bone tuberculosis have a higher degree of drug resistance in previously treated patients and HIV seropositive patients. These groups can be considered as risk factors for drug resistance in lymph node and bone tuberculosis and can be targeted for drug susceptibility testing(DST).
