Adenitis
Definition
An acute or chronic inflammation of a lymph node or a gland, usually caused by a localized bacterial, viral, or fungal infection in the vicinity. This structural condition manifests clinically through swelling, increased local sensitivity, spontaneous pain upon palpation, and sometimes redness of the overlying skin, requiring clinical investigations to differentiate it from other lymphadenopathies.
