  • Title: Childhood cervical adenitis.
    Author: Barton LL.
    Journal: Am Fam Physician; 1984 Apr; 29(4):163-6. PubMed ID: 6720492.
    Abstract:
    Cervical lymphadenopathy is common in children. Although infectious adenitis is the most probable diagnosis, a large number of congenital and acquired, neoplastic and non-neoplastic lesions must also be considered. Evaluation of infectious cervical lymphadenitis should include a careful history and physical examination, followed by a tuberculin skin test and cultures of the throat and lymph node aspirate. The first therapeutic step is to prescribe a semisynthetic penicillinase-resistant penicillin, aimed at the most common bacterial organisms.
