Acute lymphangitis and acute lymphadenitis

Pathological cause: the breakdown of bacteria from the skin injury or mucosal invasion, or other infectious lesions, such as furunculosis, tinea pedis, etc. penetrated by the organization of the lymphatic clearance to enter lymphatic vessels, lymphatics and its environs from the acute inflammation, known as Acute lymphangitis. Lymphatic lumen with bacteria, and the solidification of the lymph exfoliated cells. If Acute lymphangitis continue to spread to local lymph nodes, or pyogenic lesions by lymphatic spread to regional lymph nodes which can cause acute lymphadenitis. If the upper limb, breast, chest wall, back and abdominal wall above the navel infection of the axillary lymph node inflammation; lower extremities, abdominal umbilical following, perineum and hip infection can occur groin inflammation of the lymph nodes; head, face, mouth, neck and shoulder infection, caused the lower jaw and neck lymph node inflammation. Acute lymphangitis and acute inflammation of the lymph nodes often bacteria Staphylococcus aureus and hemolytic streptococcus.
Clinical manifestations: Acute lymphangitis into mesh lymphangitis and tubular lymphangitis. Erysipelas namely mesh lymphangitis. Tubular lymphangitis common in the limbs, and to the lower extremities, as it often associated with infection tinea pedis. 1, tubular lymphangitis can be divided into deep and shallow two. Shallow lymphangitis in the proximal wound in one or more of the "red line", a hardware and tenderness. Deep lymphangitis there is no red line, but a limb swelling, tenderness. Two lymphangitis can be a general malaise, chills, fever, headache, weakness and loss of appetite, and other symptoms. 2, acute lymphadenitis light to local lymph nodes and only slight tenderness, and often self-healing, heavier, partially red, swelling, pain, heat, accompanied by systemic symptoms. Through timely treatment and redness can be dissipated, but sometimes because of hypertrophic scar and organizations, left a small sclerosis; inflammation extended to the surrounding lymph nodes, several lymph nodes adhesion can be a corporation; can develop into abscesses. At this point, pain, skin changes Anjiang, edema, tenderness obvious. Treatment and prevention: [treatment] is the original lesion treatment. The anti-inflammatory treatment for the disease early. Lymphadenitis has been acute abscess formation, should be drainage. [Prevention] timely processing of injury, the treatment of lesions such as tonsillitis, dental caries, tinea pedis finger infection and infection.
