Abstract
Cervical lymphadenopathy is a very frequent diagnosis in pediatric practice. Most of the cases of lymph nodes enlargement in children are not associated with severe, life-threatening diseases. However, in some patients lymphadenopathy is an easily accessible indicator for early diagnosis of a serious illness. Early detection of such indicators can often save a child’s health and even life. This article details the main infectious causes of cervical lymphadenopathy in children. The algorithm of the diagnostic is presented.
