Reactive Node Diseases
Introduction
Some diseases can target the lymph nodes and they become actively involved in the disease process, and these are listed below according to their causal organism and presenting symptoms. The lymph node is also a suitable place to biopsy when looking for evidence of other systemic diseases which can be diagnosed by locating evidence of them in the node using immunological laboratory techniques. These include Canine Distemper Virus, Classical Swine Fever, Bovine East Coast Fever and Canine Leishmaniasis.
Parasitic Diseases
Bacterial Diseases
Diseases Involving Both Reactive Nodes and Lymphadenitis
- Tuberculosis in Cattle
- Brucellosis and Johne's Disease: chronicity is caused by persistence of intacellular bacteria in lymph node macrophages, Type IV hypersensitivity, but does not result in visible necrosis as in TB
- Actinobacillosis in Cattle and Pigs
- Actinomycosis
- Equine Strangles
- Streptococcal adenitis or head gland disease causing acute inflammation similar to the above in dogs
