Overview
Common risk factors in the development of lymphadenopathy include people at risk of infections as seen in high risk sexual behavior for HIV,Cytomegalovirus, IV drug users, recent blood transfusion.
Risk Factors
Common Risk Factors
- Common risk factors in the development of lymphadenopathy may be occupational, environmental, genetic, and viral.
- Common risk factors in the development of lymphadenopathy include:
- High risk sexual behaviour - HIV/AIDS, Hepatitis B, Herpes simplex, Cytomegalovirus
- I.V drug abuse- HIV/ AIDS, Hepatitis B, Endocarditis
- Local soft-tissue infections
- Upper respiratory tract infection
Less Common Risk Factors
- Less common risk factors in the development of lymphadenopathy include:
- Recent blood transfusion- Cytomegalovirus, HIV/ AIDS
- Eating under cooked meat- Toxoplasmosis
