Adenitis is a general term for an inflammation of a gland.^[1] Often it is used to refer to lymphadenitis which is the inflammation of a lymph node.

Classification

Lymph node adenitis

Lymph adenitis or lymph node adenitis is caused by bacterial infection in lymph nodes. The infected lymph nodes typically become enlarged, warm and tender. A swelling of lymph nodes due to growth of lymph cells is called lymphadenopathy. Types include:

Neck
- Cervical adenitis is an inflammation of a lymph node in the neck.
- Tuberculous adenitis (scrofula) is a tuberculous infection of the skin of the neck caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis. Non-tuberculous adenitis can also be caused by Mycobacterium scrofulaceum or Mycobacterium avium.
Abdomen
- Mesenteric adenitis is an inflammation of the mesenteric lymph nodes in the abdomen. It can be caused by the bacterium Yersinia enterocolitica.^[2] If it occurs in the right lower quadrant, it can be mistaken for acute appendicitis, often preceded by a sore throat.

Other

Sebaceous adenitis is an inflammation of the sebaceous glands in the skin. These glands normally produce sebum (skin oil, a lipid-rich secretion) which prevents drying of the skin.

Historical use of x-rays: Treatment of inner ear infections and prevention of deafness.

Calabrese E1, Dhawan G.Author information 1Department of Public Health, Environmental Health Sciences, University of Massachusetts, Amherst, MA, USA.AbstractPurpose: This article provides an historical assessment of the role of radiotherapy in the treatment of inner ear infections. Materials and methods: The research utilized a literature-based evaluation of the use of x-rays during the first half of the 20th century on the treatment of otitis media (OM), mastoiditis, and cervical adenitis and their impact on the occurrence of deafness. Results: X-Rays were consistently found to be effective as a treatment modality at relatively low doses, in the range of 10-20% of the skin erythema dose, rapidly reducing inflammation, and accelerating the healing process. The mechanistic basis of the clinical successes, while addressed by contemporary researchers, is evaluated in the present article in light of current molecular biology advances, which indicate that clinically effective low doses of ionizing radiation act via the creation of an anti-inflammatory phenotype in highly inflamed tissue. Conclusions: X-Ray treatment of OM, mastoiditis, and cervical adenitis was widely accepted in the first half of the 20th century by clinicians as an effective treatment when administered within an appropriate dosage range.

Comparison of clinical features and EBV expression in histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis of children and adults.

Epstein-Barr virus (EBV) has been implicated as a cause of HNL in some reports but not in others. The aim of this study was to compare the clinical features and laboratory findings in children and adults with HNL and to evaluate the relationship between EBV infection and HNL.
