| − | ==Diseases Parasitising the Lymphocytes==
| |
| − | *organism grows in the lymphocytes and ruptures them
| |
| − | *if large infecting dose
| |
| − | :- may be rapidly fatal since animal may no tb e able to mount an immunological attack | |
| − | *if smaller infecting dose
| |
| − | :- loss of mature lymphocytes causes a dramatic stimulation of the remaining lymphocyte precursors
| |
| − | :- node hyperplasia follows
| |
| − | :- competition between lymphocytolysis by the organism and lymphocyte production by the nodes
| |
| − | :- clinically
| |
| − | ::- may be swelling of the node at one stage and reduction in size at another

| |
| − | ===Lymph node pigmentation===
| |
| − | *Lungs
| |
| − | :- anthracosis
| |
| − | ::- carbon derived from soot finds its way to the local nodes in macrophages
| |
| − | *Skin
| |
| − | :- dermatopathic lymphadenopathy or melanic reticulosis
| |
| − | ::- in pigmented animals, especially black dogs
| |
| − | ::- chronic inflammatory skin conditions lead to melanin deposition in hyperplastic nodules
| |
| − | :- also occurs in nodes draining skin melanomas where the pigment may be the result of skin ulceration or secondary tumour deposit
| |
| − | ::- these two should not be confused since the prognosis is very different following surgery
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Emphysema===
| |
| − | *interstitial emphysema
| |
| − | :- common in cases of dyspnoea
| |
| − | :- more commonly affects bovine lung
| |
| − | ::- due to well developed pulmonary lobulation and hence much loose interstitial lung tissue
| |
| − | *collection of gas bubbles in bronchial and mediastinal lymph nodes
| |
| − | :- gas travels to these nodes after gaining entry to the many lymphatic vessels present in the interstitial tissue
| |
| − | | |
| − | ===Neoplasia===
| |
| − | * Primary tumours
| |
| − | ** Lymphosarcoma (lymphoma)
| |
| − | :- of lymphoid cells with lymph node enlargement
| |
| − | :- smooth, pale hemogenous but may have areas of necrosis
| |
| − | :- may cause [[Parathyroid Glands - Pathology#Pseudo-Hyperparathyroidism|pseudo-hyperparathyroidism]]
| |
| − | * Secondary tumours
| |
| − | :- nodes often involved in the spread of tumours by extension or metastasis
| |
| − | :- usually carcinomas
| |
| − | | |
| − | ==Haemal Lymph Nodes==
| |
| − | *ruminants only
| |
| − | *small; dark red/brown
| |
| − | *develop during foetal life
| |
| − | :- lymph node primordia which lose their lymph vessles
| |
| − | :- receive all cells and antigen from the BLOOD
| |
| − | *functional significance unclear
| |
| − | *probably respond to blood-borne antigen
