	==Background==		==Background==
	Lymphadenitis ~~is any~~ inflammation ~~or enlargement~~ of a lymph node~~. It can occur as an enlargement of a~~ single or multiple ~~node, and is typically caused by local skin~~ or ~~soft tissue~~ bacterial ~~infection~~ (usually staph or strep)~~. Lymphadenitis is not~~ to be confused with [[lymphangitis]]~~, which is an inflammation of the lymphatic ''channels''. Lymphadenitis usually presents with fever and tender lymphadenopathy.~~		*Lymphadenitis = inflammation of lymph node
			*Can be single or multiple
			*Most commonly due to viral or bacterial (usually staph or strep) infection local to region draining lymph to that node
