Lymphadenitis

Lymphadenitis is caused by bacteria invading the lymph nodes along the lymphatic vessels. But not everyone will develop lymphadenitis when they encounter a bacterial infection. This disease is prone to occur only when the body's resistance decreases. When long-term malnutrition, anemia and other chronic diseases reduce the resistance significantly, lymphadenitis is prone to occur after infection with bacteria. The bacteria that cause this disease are often Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococcus.
