POST-TRAVEL: LYMPHADENOPATHY

on 2.7.09 with 0 comments



Swollen lymph nodes after or during a trip need not necessarily result from an exotic disease. When managing a problem of swollen lymph nodes, a distinction should be made between regional lymphadenopathy and generalised lymph node swelling. In addition it is important to know whether there is fever and whether the problem is an acute or a chronic one. The causes can generally be divided into infections, neoplastic causes, infiltrative diseases and non-infectious immunological reactions.
