Materials & Methods: Patients with signicant lymphadenopathy and age more than 18 years and who t with inclusion criteria are taken into study . Biopsy taken for all the patient t for anaesthesia and sent for Gene Xpert , Histopathological examination, AFB culture . Result: Among the 50 patients with signicant lymphadenopathy, 31 were due to Tuberculous lymphadenitis, 6 were due to malignancy, 13 were due to reactive lymphadenitis. Conclusion: the commonest cause of lymphadenopathy is tuberculosis, and the AFB culture and sensitivity when compared to Gene Xpert had 2.1 times more chances of detecting TB adenitis and HPE for TB adenitis when compared to Gene Xpert had 3.8 times more chances of detecting TB adenitis
