[Mesenteric lymphadenitis (author's transl)]. 1975

W Kanert

In 23 years the mesenteric lymphadenitis syndrome has been observed more closely in 4974 appendectomies. Examination of the fine structure of the lymph nodes removed showed a non-specific catarrhal inflammation, while a tubercular disease of the lymph nodes could not be demonstrated in any case. After removal of the appendix, complete freedom from complaint was obtained in almost all cases.
