To study the cytomorphologic patterns of Calmette Guerin bacillus (BCG) lymphadenitis and compare it to those of tuberculous lymphadenitis.
A retrospective cytomorphologic study of 136 cases of clinically diagnosed BCG adenitis. All fine needle aspiration smears of lymphadenitis in the age group 2 months to 2 years during a three-and-half-year period were analyzed.
Three distinct cytomorphologic patterns were seen in 112 cases. They were acid-fast bacilli in a necrotic background (62), granulomas with necrosis (47) and granulomas in a reactive lymphoid background (3).
The cytomorphologic patterns in BCG lymphadenitis were similar to those seen in tuberculous lymphadenitis; however, an exudative response and high acid-fast bacillus positivity was seen more frequently in BCG lymphadenitis. Moreover, Ziehl-Neelsen staining helped to distinguish these cases from pyogenic abscesses.
研究卡介苗(BCG)淋巴结炎的细胞形态学模式,并将其与结核性淋巴结炎的细胞形态学模式进行比较。
对136例临床诊断为卡介苗腺炎的病例进行回顾性细胞形态学研究。分析了在三年半时间内2个月至2岁年龄组淋巴结炎的所有细针穿刺涂片。
112例中可见三种不同的细胞形态学模式。它们分别是坏死背景中的抗酸杆菌(62例)、伴有坏死的肉芽肿(47例)和反应性淋巴背景中的肉芽肿(3例)。
卡介苗淋巴结炎的细胞形态学模式与结核性淋巴结炎相似;然而,卡介苗淋巴结炎中渗出反应和抗酸杆菌高阳性更为常见。此外,齐-尼氏染色有助于将这些病例与化脓性脓肿区分开来。
