Lymphangitis

Clinic

• It is an inflammation or an infection of the lymphatic channels that occurs as a result of infection at a site distal to the channel.
• The most common cause is Streptococcus pyogenes (Group A strep), hemolytic streptococci, and in some cases, mononucleosis, CMV, MTB, syphilis, and the fungus Sporothrix schenckii.
• Lymphangitis is sometimes mistakenly called "blood poisoning". In reality, "blood poisoning" is synonymous with sepsis.
