Abstract
Forty-four cases of tubercular lymphadenopathy and sinuses, who were taking anti-tubercular treatment for
more than 6 months and not responding to it, were randomly selected in this study. Overall cure rate in cases of
lymphadenopathy was 93.99% , sinus 77.77% and cold abscess 100%. Mean age of the patients was 30.13 (Male:
female1:4.5). Most common site of lymphadenopathy was cervical , smear was positive in 19(43.18%) cases and culture
in 25(56.81%) cases. Low Level Nitrogen Laser Therapy may be used as an adjuvant to anti-tubercular drugs in cases of
chronic non-responding tubercular lymphadenopathy and sinuses.
