Bubo (lat. bubo, from ancient Greek βουβών - “groin tumor”) is an inflamed and enlarged lymph node.

Buboes most often occur during infectious diseases such as plague, tularemia, lymphogranulomatosis and others. A lymph node tumor occurs due to the accumulation of bacteria, viruses or other pathogens in it, which enter the body through insect bites, wounds or other routes.

A classic example of a bubo is the inguinal bubo, an enlarged inguinal lymph node that occurs in the bubonic form of plague. However, buboes can also appear in other groups of lymph nodes - cervical, axillary, femoral and others.

The bubo is usually painful on palpation and may be accompanied by redness of the skin. As the infection progresses, the bubo may rupture and form an ulcer. Treatment depends on the disease causing the bubo; surgery may be required.

Bubo

*Bubo* is a disease that is caused by various infectious agents such as viruses, bacteria, fungi and parasites. It occurs as a result of infection of the body and the spread of infection through the lymphatic vessels and lymph nodes that are located in the groin area. In this description we will consider the most common types of this disease, the causes of its occurrence, as well as methods of its treatment.

Classification of the disease depending on the cause

1. Viral buboes - they are caused by a viral infection, such as influenza or hepatitis. This can lead to painful swelling in the groin area and other symptoms such as fever, body aches, abdominal pain, etc.

2. Bacterial buboes - caused by bacteria, most often streptococci or staphylococci. They may look like swollen nodes, redness around them and general malaise of the body.

3. Fungal buboes - can be caused by fungal infections that affect the lymph nodes. These infections can appear as a result of injury, as well as after eating contaminated foods. They appear as reddish discharge or ulcerations on the skin; in the early stages of the disease, itching and redness may appear. 4. Parasitic buboes are
