Swollen Lymph Nodes - The Immune System's Response to Vasculitis
Advertisements

Swollen lymph nodes can be a symptom of vasculitis, as the immune system responds to the inflammation of blood vessels. Lymph nodes, small bean-shaped structures found throughout the body, play a vital role in the immune system by producing and storing infection-fighting cells.
