Linfadenitis - Síntomas

Nombres alternativos

Infección de los ganglios linfáticos; Infección de los nódulos linfáticos; Linfadenopatía localizada

Síntomas:

  • Ganglios linfáticos inflamados, sensibles o duros
  • Piel enrojecida y sensible sobre el ganglio linfático

Los ganglios linfáticos se pueden sentir blandos y elásticos si se ha formado un absceso.

Signos y exámenes:

El médico llevará a cabo un examen físico, que incluye la palpación de los ganglios linfáticos, y puede buscar signos de lesión alrededor de los que estén inflamados.

Una biopsia y un cultivo del área o ganglio afectado pueden revelar la causa de la inflamación y los hemocultivos pueden revelar una diseminación de la infección al torrente sanguíneo.
