The goal of this study is to evaluate early tuberculosis diagnosis using a simple and uncomplicated technique, as well as to investigate tuberculosis occurrence at various extrapulmonary sites. Tuberculosis is the most frequent and deadly infectious disease in our country. Tuberculosis can affect every organ system in the body, and while pulmonary tuberculosis is the most common form, extrapulmonary tuberculosis is nonetheless a deadly condition. Extrapulmonary tuberculosis can be diagnosed via Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology. This is a 12-year study of 17,640 cytological smears received in a tertiary care center's cytology lab between January 2000 and March 2012. Of the 17,640 smears, 1038 (5.88%) were found to have tubercular lesions. Our findings show that tuberculosis is more common in women (721 cases, or 69.46 percent) than in men (317 cases, or 30.53 percent), with a male to female ratio of 1:2.27. The lymph node was the most prevalent site in both sexes, accounting for 975 (93.93%) of the 1038 cases. We also discovered that tuberculosis is most common in people aged 14 to 45. Fine Needle Aspiration Cytology is a prominent diagnostic technique that is gaining popularity due to its ease of use, quick findings, and low risk of complications.
