What does LAD stand for?

The youngster also had Persistent Generalized Lymphadenopathy (PGL), which involves a low blood cell count in the bonemarrow.

We report clinical and histologic features of lymphadenopathy resulting from M.

4,7) We evaluated 2 patients with prominent posterior cervical lymphadenopathy and symptoms consistent with viral illness--a 35-year-old woman and a 7-year-old boy.

xiii) Persons whose history, physical examination, or medical records reveal other evidence of HIV infection or high-risk behavior, such as a diagnosis of AIDS, unexplained weight loss, night sweats, blue or purple spots on the skin or mucous membranes typical of Kaposi's sarcoma, unexplained lymphadenopathy lasting greater than 1 month, unexplained temperature greater than 100.

Diagnosis is based on pathological examination of lymphadenopathy or spleen showing hyalinised atrophic germinal centres associated with vascular hyperplasia and plasma cell infiltration in the interfollicular area.

1,2) Very few cases of tuberculosis mediastinal lymphadenopathy causing dysphasia have been reported from the Asian subcontinent and even fewer from the West.

10) Although we did not take a tissue sample from our patient's enlarged lymph nodes, the synchronous decrease in size of our patient's liver mass and lymphadenopathy provides evidence that our patient's lymph nodes were also involved with IPT.

[FIGURE 4 OMITTED] COMMENT Practically, the most common problem in differential diagnosis in cases of lymph node involvement is to distinguish sinus histiocytosis with massive lymphadenopathy from so-called sinus hyperplasia (sinus histiocytosis), a nonspecific reaction to a wide variety of agents, although, theoretically, many diseases can resemble Rosai-Dorfman disease morphologically.
