- Lymphadenopathy
Abstract Lymphadenopathy refers to any disease process involving lymph nodes that are abnormal in size and consistency. Lymphadenitis specifically refers to lymphadenopathies that are caused by inflammatory processes. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Symptoms may include: Swelling or tenderness of one or more lymph nodes Sore or red skin in the area of the affected lymph nodes Pain when your child swallows Pain when your child moves his or her neck Your child may be unwilling to move the neck fully [summitmedicalgroup.com]

Delays in treatment of cervical lymphadenitis may lead to thrombophlebitis or sepsis. For prevention should observe basic hygiene rules for cuts and injuries, carefully monitor the overall health and strengthen the immune system. [noillen.bitballoon.com]

- Asymptomatic
Although cervical lymphadenitis was the initial clinical manifestation of deep fungal infection, computerized tomography of the chest and abdomen subsequently demonstrated asymptomatic pulmonic, splenic, or hepatic lesions characteristic of fungal abscesses [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Enlarged lymph nodes can be asymptomatic, or they can cause local pain and tenderness. Overlying skin may be unaffected or erythematous. Cervical lymphadenitis can lead to neck stiffness and torticollis. [emedicine.medscape.com]

- Neck Pain
The chronic form of cervical lymphadenitis in children occurs only enlarged lymph nodes in the neck. When probing a painful or poorly they do not hurt at all. The temperature is normal, the child's state of health is good. [noillen.bitballoon.com]
Acute cervical lymphadenitis was defined by clinical signs of fever, neck pain, uni- or bi-lateral latero-cervical adenopathy without fluctuant consistency and by favorable outcome with antibiotic treatment. [bmcearnosethroatdisord.biomedcentral.com]

Abstract Neck masses are common and have a variety of infectious agents and noninfectious causes. This article reviews the more common infectious causes of neck masses-cervical lymphadenitis, suppurative parotitis, thyroiditis, and infected cysts. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

- Irritability
The boy was breast fed and developed well until the age of 28 days when he became irritable. The consulting paediatrician noticed a submandibular mass on the right side as well as increasing irritability. [adc.bmj.com]

Prognosis
CONCLUSION: In cases of non-tuberculous mycobacteria lymphadenitis, surgery is the treatment of choice and it is closely related to a favourable prognosis. Copyright © 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Treatment and prognosis Treatment is with prolonged courses of multiagent antimycobacterials and in some instances (after many months of medical management) surgical excision of residual nodal masses 6. [radiopaedia.org]
Etiology
Tissue culture (61%) or polymerase chain reaction (12%) was utilized most frequently to confirm NTM etiology. In most (59%) cases, an etiologic organism was not identified. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
