Mesenteric lymphadenopathy

When it comes to mesenteric lymphadenopathy, some friends may not know what kind of disease it is. This is mainly because the disease is more common in children, and adults rarely experience mesenteric lymphadenopathy, which leads to people's lack of understanding of the disease. However, whether it is an adult or a child, once mesenteric lymph node enlargement occurs, it should be treated promptly.

In fact, the so-called mesenteric lymphadenopathy is also an upper respiratory tract infection disease. There are many factors that cause the disease. It is very common in children. In order to detect and treat mesenteric lymphadenopathy in time, please first understand the symptoms of mesenteric lymphadenopathy in detail.

1. Acute mesenteric lymphadenopathy

This disease is often associated with upper respiratory tract infection. Clinical manifestations include fever, abdominal pain, vomiting, or diarrhea or constipation. Abdominal pain sometimes feels like colic in the right lower abdomen, but can also occur in other parts of the body, so it is easy to misdiagnose as acute appendicitis, and is only proven to be mesenteric lymphadenitis during surgery. This disease is mostly a viral infection and usually heals naturally.

2. Chronic mesenteric lymphadenopathy

It is often caused by tuberculosis, accompanied by intestinal tuberculosis or tuberculous peritonitis, and a history of contact with tuberculosis. The clinical manifestations include symptoms of chronic tuberculosis poisoning, low fever, night sweats, fatigue, poor appetite, and abdominal pain. Enlarged lymph nodes with obvious tenderness can be palpated in the right lower abdomen or left upper abdomen. Anti-tuberculosis treatment is generally effective. Surgery may be considered if necessary

Symptoms of chronic mesenteric lymphadenopathy:

Local lymphadenopathy, initially in common locations such as the submandibular, submental, and deep cervical lymph nodes, is tender, has clear circumferences, is movable, and has no adhesions. As the disease progresses and the inflammation of the lymph nodes spreads to the surrounding tissues, the lymph nodes become inactive upon palpation and the pain intensifies, further developing into glandular cellulitis.

Chronic lymphadenitis has a history of recurrent swelling and dissipation, involving 2-3 lymph nodes, of medium hardness, movable and tender.

I believe that after reading the above content, you should have a more detailed understanding of the symptoms of mesenteric lymphadenopathy. In order to avoid more serious harm to your body caused by mesenteric lymphadenopathy, please carry out antibacterial treatment in time when mesenteric lymphadenopathy occurs, and pay attention to controlling the spread of bacterial infection.
