Abstract
Background: Comparably efficacy of Microscopic examination for tuberculous lymphadenitis isdiffers from laboratory to laboratory. Emergence of drug resistant TB still a major challenge indeveloping countries. We therefore also investigated the drug resistant patterns and molecularepidemiology of mycobacterial isolated from tuberculous lymphadenitis patients.
Methods: A cross sectional study was conducted from clinically suspected Tuberculouslymphadenitis patients. Three smears were prepared; for cytomorphology, Auramine O and ZNstaining study. The left-over sample were inoculated onto Lowenstein-Jehnsen (LJ) media. Theculture isolates were tested by regions of difference (RD9) to distinguish M. tuberculosis fromother species of M. tuberculosis complex. Phenotypic, genotypic first-line and genotypic secondlinedrugs were tested for resistance pattern of isolates by using GenoType MTBDRplus andPhenotypic DST (Drug containing 7H10 Middlebrook Media), and the Spoligotyping straindependent polymorphism test were determined. Statistical analysis was done using STATAversion 11. The sensitivity, specificity, positive and negative predictive values were calculatedby considering the culture results as the gold standard.
Results: Among 211 FNA samples collected; 49.7% (105/211) were positive by Cytology,32.7% (69/211) LEDFM, 23.69% (50/211) Culture and 13.7% (29/211). The efficacy of ZiehlNeelsenas compared to culture, Sensitivity were 30% [95% CI: 17.9-44.6], Specificity 91.3%[95% CI: 85.8-95.2]. For LEDFM, the Sensitivity 66% [95% CI: 51.2-78.8] and the Specificitywas 77.6% [95% CI: 70.4-83.8]. The Sensitivity and Specificity of Cytology was 78% [95% CI:64-88.5], 58.8% [95% CI: 50.7-66.5] respectively. The most predominant Spoligotyping typeswere NEW strains following by SIT53 and the overall drug resistance patterns among 50 culturespositive isolates were 14% (7/50); out of this 8% (4/50) isolates were mono resistance for INH,whereas 6% (3/50) isolates were resistance for both INH and Rifampicin.
Conclusion: LEDFM gives a legitimate option in contrast to ZN techniques in terms of its highersensitivity a bit lower specificity. Three MDR-TB cases and heterogeneous strains of M.tuberculosis and the high extent of INH monoresistance from HIV patients were detected. TheNEW and SIT53 (T) strains was the most prevailing strains in the study area.
