dc.description.abstractTo study the Fine needle aspiration cytology of lymphadenopathy in HIV-infected patients.Aspiration of lymph nodes was done with a 21-23 gauge fine needle in 74 HIV positive patients with lymphadenopathy. The smears were routinely stained with Papanicoloau, May Grünwald Giemsa, and Modified Ziehl- Neelson stains. Periodic acid Schiff and Grocott's methanamine stain were used wherever necessary. The most common cytological diagnosis was tubercular lymphadenitis (38 cases) followed by reactive hyperplasia (22 cases) and acute lymphadenitis/abscess (8 cases). There was one case each of Non Hodgkin lymphoma and metastatic carcinoma. 4 cases had unsatisfactory aspirates. The cytological diagnoses were concordant with the histological diagnoses in 19 out of 20 cases in which subsequent biopsy was available. FNAC is a very useful tool in the diagnosis of enlarged lymph nodes in HIV-infected patients. It is a quick, inexpensive, outdoor procedure and suitable for developing countries like India. The technique has high diagnostic accuracy.en_US
