Lymphogranulids

Lymphogranulomatosis is a group of diseases similar in clinical manifestations to lymphogranulomatosis. These are chronic systemic diseases of unknown etiology, characterized by proliferation of lymphoid cells, enlarged lymph nodes, and damage to internal organs.

Lymphogranulides include diseases such as Kikuchi-Fuyuku disease, cat scratch disease, splenic lobular hyperplasia syndrome, angioimmunoblastic lymphadenopathy and some others.

Common features of these diseases are lymphadenopathy, fever, sweating, and weight loss. The liver, spleen, bone marrow and other organs may be affected.

Diagnosis of lymphogranulids is based on histological examination of the tissue of enlarged lymph nodes. Treatment includes glucocorticosteroids, cytostatics, and sometimes radiation therapy.

The prognosis depends on the form of the disease and can be either favorable or unfavorable. Some patients develop lymphogranulomatosis.

Lympho-G is a very short term for lymphogranulomatosis, sometimes just a form of writing that means granulomatous lesion of the lymphatic system. Sometimes this name is translated as "lymphatic granulomatous". This means the presence in the lymph nodes and tissues
