Pathological subtypes and sampling strategies determine diagnostic sensitivity in cervical lymph node tuberculosis: a retrospective study
Etiological positivity rates in cervical lymph node tuberculosis correlate with pathological features. Maximizing liquefactive necrosis sampling for the GeneXpert assay and combining different sampling techniques (such as, surgical resection, incision and drainage, needle biopsy) for etiological detection enhances diagnostic accuracy.
