Lymph swelling?

summary

Lymph nodes are distributed throughout the body and are important immune organs. According to their location, they can be divided into superficial lymph nodes and deep lymph nodes. The normal lymph nodes were mostly in 0.2-0.5 cm, often in group distribution. Each group of lymph nodes collected the lymph from the corresponding drainage area, such as the lymph nodes in the retroauricular and mastoid regions, and collected the lymph from the scalp; Submandibular lymph nodes collected lymph from the floor of mouth, buccal mucosa and gingiva; Cervical lymph nodes collected lymph from nose, pharynx, larynx, trachea and thyroid; On the left side of supraclavicular lymph node group, lymph was collected from esophagus, stomach and other organs, and on the right side, lymph was collected from trachea, pleura and lung; Axillary lymph nodes were collected from the upper trunk, breast and chest wall; Inguinal lymph nodes were collected from the lower extremities and perineum. Understanding the relationship between the two is of great clinical significance to determine the location and nature of the primary lesion. Lymph swelling? Let's talk about it

Lymph swelling?

Bacterial infection, such as acute inflammation of the mouth and face, often causes swelling of the mandibular lymph nodes, which are soft and active, accompanied by pain and fever. Generally, it tends to be normal with the disappearance of inflammation. Viral infection, such as measles and infectious mononucleosis, can cause lymphadenopathy. In addition, anaphylactic diseases and poisonous insect stings can also cause lymphadenopathy

Chronic lymphadenitis: most of them have obvious infection foci, and often have localized lymphadenopathy and tenderness. Generally, the diameter is no more than 2-3cm, which will shrink after anti-inflammatory treatment. The enlargement of inguinal lymph nodes, especially the long-standing flat lymph nodes, is of no significance. However, the enlargement of neck and supraclavicular lymph nodes without obvious cause indicates systemic lymphoproliferative disease, which should be paid attention to and further examined.

Tuberculous lymphadenitis: cervical lymph node enlargement is more common, some will burst, some do not burst. There are fever, sweating, fatigue and other symptoms, mostly in young adults. Often accompanied by tuberculosis, lymph node texture is not uniform, some part of the soft caseous change, some part of the hard fibrosis or calcification, and adhesion to each other, and adhesion with the skin, so the activity is poor. Tuberculin test and blood tuberculosis antibody were positive in these patients.
