Examples

• Children suffering from adenitis should use a spray of Dobell's solution in the nose and throat three or four times daily.

• The acute phlegmonous peri-adenitis of the submaxillary gland, known as angina Ludovici, is referred to at p. 597.

• In severe cases there may be a suppurative adenitis, or inflammation of the lymphatic glands which are fed from the affected part.

• Adenitis takes place in the submaxillary, retro-maxillary, and sublingual glands of the affected side.

• The glands do not suppurate, but the adenitis may remain as a chronic manifestation in scrofulous subjects.
