Correlation of various techniques in diagnosis of tuberculous lymphadenitis on fine needle aspiration cytology.

Conclusion. There is a definite advantage of autofluorescence over Ziehl-Neelsen and auramine-rhodamine which is to detect Mycobacteria, being more sensitive as well as an inexpensive technique. Autofluorescence can be a useful addition to routine cytology for early diagnosis and effective treatment. PMID: 24171137 [PubMed]
