The responses you've provided indicate various conditions related to lymph nodes and their inflammation or infection. Here's a brief overview of each:
-
Adenitis: This term refers to the inflammation of the lymph nodes, which can occur due to infections, autoimmune diseases, or malignancies. The lymph nodes may become swollen, tender, and painful.
-
Tonsillitis: While this condition primarily involves the tonsils, these structures are part of the lymphatic system. Tonsillitis is an infection or inflammation of the tonsils that can lead to enlarged lymph nodes in the neck.
-
AIDS: Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome is a condition caused by the HIV virus, which weakens the immune system. HIV can cause generalized lymphadenopathy (swelling of lymph nodes) as the body responds to the infection.
-
Lupus: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease that can lead to inflammation of various tissues, including lymph nodes. Lymphadenopathy can occur in people with lupus as part of the immune response.
