PY - 2019 T2 - Pediatric Infectious Diseases: Essentials for Practice, 2e AB - Lymphadenopathy, or enlarged lymph nodes, may be the result of acute or chronic inflammation, or infiltration via malignant cells. A lymph node measuring greater than 10 mm in longest diameter is generally considered enlarged. There are several exceptions to this rule: (1) epitrochlear nodes measuring more than 5 mm are abnormal; (2) inguinal nodes measuring more than 10–15 mm are abnormal; and (3) palpable supraclavicular, iliac, or popliteal nodes are always considered abnormal. Palpable lymph nodes are common in otherwise healthy infants and children as a result of reactive hyperplasia.1 SN - PB - McGraw-Hill Education CY - New York, NY Y2 - 2024/10/03 UR - accesspediatrics.mhmedical.com/content.aspx?aid=1157321232 ER -
