“…Three of the four patients in our series with abdominal lymph nodes had mycobacterial infection. Fungal infection has been reported in other series 14 , 43 , 44 , but was seen in only one patient in our series.…”

“…PGL was identified early in the HIV epidemic and as its significance was initially not clear, many lymph node excision biopsies were performed. As increasing confidence in making a clinical diagnosis of PGL was gained, the number of biopsies performed was reduced 14–17 . PGL is still the most common diagnosis in FNA of HIV + patients in Europe and North America 3–5 and thus the results from our series are not unusual.…”

Sixty-five FNA cytology procedures were performed on lymph nodes in 52 HIV+ patients. Cervical lymph nodes were the commonest site of FNA cytology investigation (54%). The diagnoses were persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (38%), infection (17%), and malignancy (11%). Diagnosis could not be rendered in 25% of FNA cytology due to inadequate sampling. Of those with infection, mycobacterial disease was the commonest cause (91%), the diagnosis of which was enhanced by concurrent microbiological examination. Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma was the commonest malignancy. Sixteen lymph node FNA cytologies had subsequent tissue biopsy. There were two false-positive and four false-negative FNA cytologies. FNA cytology in HIV+ patients is most useful in the diagnosis of infection, obviating the need for tissue biopsy and allowing prompt initiation of treatment.

“…Fungal infections from peripheral or deep-seated lymph nodes has been reported in HIV-negative patients as well. 1,7 Radiologically guided FNAB was of great help in HIV-positive patients as it offered immediate diagnosis and avoided surgical intervention. Of the three patients with fungal infection in our study, one with cryptococcosis died due to dissemination of the disease.…”

“…According to a national family health survey report of 2007, it is estimated that around 2.4 million people in India are living with HIV, and the prevalence is higher in urban areas (0.35%) than in rural areas (0.25%). The most common conditions affecting the lymph nodes in HIV‐positive patients are reactive changes including progressive generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL), opportunistic infections with Mycobacterium tuberculosis , M. avium intracellulare , Histoplasma capsulatum and Cryptococcus neoformans and malignant conditions such as non‐Hodgkin and Hodgkin lymphoma and Kaposi’s sarcoma 2,3 …”
