Pop-up dialog opened
Lymphadenitis is a condition in which your lymph nodes become inflamed. If the disease affects the lymph nodes in the membrane that connects your intestines to the abdominal wall (mesentery), it is called mesenteric lymphadenitis (Mez-un-TER-ik lim-fad-uh-NIE-tis).
A viral intestinal infection is the most common cause of mesenteric mphadenitis, also called mesenteric adenitis. It mainly affects children and adolescents.
This painful condition may mimic appendicitis or a condition in which part of the intestine slips into another part of the intestine (intussusception). Unlike appendicitis or intussusception, mesenteric lymphadenitis is rarely severe and usually goes away on its own. Mesenteric lymphadenitis Treatment in Hyderabad
