Detailed explanation-1: -Common physical examination findings of lymphadenopathy include fever and tachycardia in infectious causes. There is an enlargement of different groups of lymph node chains depending upon the site of involvement and the underlying causes.
Detailed explanation-2: -These tests may be needed to help make the diagnosis: Blood tests to look for infection. Taking a sample of tissue from the lymph node or fluid from inside the lymph node to study under a microscope. Placing fluid from the lymph node into a culture to see what type of germs grow.
Detailed explanation-3: -Ultrasound is a noninvasive method to assess lymph nodes in superficial regions like the neck. Computed tomography (CT) is useful to determine LAP in the thorax or abdominopelvic cavity. Tissue diagnosis by fine needle aspiration biopsy or excisional biopsy is the gold standard evaluation for LAP.
Detailed explanation-4: -Image-guided lymph node biopsies are normally performed using two different methods: fine-needle aspiration (FNA) and core needle biopsy (CNB). FNA uses a thin, hollow needle attached to a syringe to remove a small amount of fluid and very small pieces of tissue from the target tissue.
