Unveiling The Enigma: Tuberculous Lymphadenopathy - A Global Health Challenge.

Abstract

Tuberculous Lymphadenopathy (TBL) poses a significant challenge in global health, necessitating a 
comprehensive understanding of its manifestations and impact. This study, conducted at a tertiary 
care teaching hospital in Delhi, India, aimed to elucidate the clinical characteristics and 
epidemiological features of TBL. A total of 102 cases were analyzed, revealing a higher prevalence 
among females (60.78%) compared to males (39.21%). The mean age of patients was 29.47 years, 
with the majority falling within the 21–30 age group. Swelling (100%) and fever (27.4%) were the 
most commonly reported symptoms. Cervical lymph nodes were predominantly involved (88.23%), 
with upper jugular lymph nodes being most commonly affected.
