How long can lymph nodes stay swollen?

When someone has an infection in the general area of a lymph node (such as in the scalp.. the nodes being in the neck) or when you have a viral infection (like "mono") the lymph nodes don't just swell... the actually grow in size to better filter/fight the infection/virus. Once the infection/virus is gone, the nodes shrink down somewhat, but never shrink to the size they were prior to the infection/virus. You're left with a firm knot... I've got several small firm nodes from when I was a child (60+ years ago)...


Does tonsillitis can cause swelling of lymph nodes?

Yes, if there is infection in the tonsil. Anytime you have infection in your body, your lymph glands become involved by fighting the infection. Lymph glands are all over your body. They have a circulatory system just like your blood does and are found everywhere. If you have a sinus infection or any other type of infection, the lymphs nodes in your neck, groin, arm pit, etc. can be swollen. However, if they stay swollen for prolonged period of time, there may be a more serious illness/disease present and you need to be assessed by a physician.

Explain the immune response in a lymph nodes?

First the structure of a lymph node... we have the cortex, paracortex and the medulla. It is made mainly of recticular cells, then lymphocytes and macrophage. So you have APCs presenting the antigen which enter lymph node via HEV, basically post-capillary venous swelling made of simple cuboidal cells. These allows things in blood to enter the lymph node. Then after that you have the APC interacting with B cells in the cortex and the T helper cells in paracortex. Both B and T cells get stimulated. B cells can either stay in cortex to form secondary follicles / germinal center or migrate to medullary cord to become plasma cells and secrete antibodies. The function of germinal center is to increase antibody affinity, isotope change (change classes) and differentiation and proliferation.
