Maximum number of patients with lymphadenopathy [65 out of 150] 43.3% cases were in 11-20 years ago group. Females [56%] presenting with lymph node enlargement were more affected than males [44%]. The commonest presenting complaint was fever [67%]. Cervical lymph nodes [82.6%] were the commonest site of involvement. On histopathological examination, four morphological groups were highlighted; tuberculous lymphadenitis [50%], chronic non-specific lymhadenitis [44%], viral lymphadenitis [4%] acute bacterial lymphadenitis [2%]. The study also highlights the yield of Mycobacteria on fluorescent staining as highly significant [P<0.001] as compared to Ziehl-Neelsen staining, there by proving the superiority of fluorescent stain
