Overview
Classification
Depending upon the involvement of the lymph nodes, lymphadenopathy is classified as 3 types.
- Localized lymphadenopathy : due to localized spot of infection e.g. an infected spot on the scalp will cause lymph nodes in the neck on that same side to swell up
- Generalized lymphadenopathy : due to generalized infection all over the body e.g. influenza
- Persistent generalized lymphadenopathy (PGL) : persisting for a long time, possibly without an apparent cause
- Dermatopathic lymphadenopathy : lymphadenopathy associated with skin disease.Tangier disease (ABCA1 deficiency) may also cause this.
