Lymph Node in Inflammation (view source)

In the lymph node, many bacteria are trapped, degraded and killed, or exposed to antibody produced by plasma cells in the medullary area. The bacteria therefore set up an acute inflammatory response in the lymph node. If they are pyogenic, baceria can produce abscessation in the lymph node, e. g. Strangles.

An upper respiratory tract pathogen in the horse. Abscesses in the cervical lymph nodes burst to the exterior and abscesses in the retropharyngeal node burst into the pharynx . Infection is usually localised to the head and neck, but can spread to cause abscessation elsewhere in the body.
