Generalized enlarged lymph nodes - what does this mean
Generalized enlarged lymph nodes is a condition caused by an abnormally high number of white blood cells in the body, which is usually caused by a viral or bacterial infection. this leads to the lymph nodes becoming enlarged and can cause pain, swelling, and tenderness in the affected areas.
What happens during the disease - generalized enlarged lymph nodes
The pathogenesis of generalized enlarged lymph nodes is likely due to an underlying infection or inflammation. this can be caused by a variety of viruses, bacteria, fungi, and other microorganisms. the body's response to these pathogens is an increase in the production of white blood cells, which can lead to an accumulation of lymphocytes in the lymph nodes. this causes the lymph nodes to become enlarged and can lead to other symptoms such as fever, fatigue, and night sweats.
