reported in the past few years from the developed countries(2). There is a paucity of data regarding the frequency of non-tuberculous mycobacterial disease among children in developing countries. Lack of information on this subject assumes even greater significance because it is important to identify children with NTM lymphadenopathy since antitubercular drugs (ATD) are often ineffective and the treatment of choice in these cases is total excision(2). The present study was, therefore, undertaken to assess the magnitude and clinical profile of NTM lymphadenopathy in the pediatric age group.
