Yes, lymph nodes can become infected, a condition known as lymphadenitis.

Symptoms may include swelling, tenderness, and sometimes fever. In some cases, the infection can lead to the formation of an abscess in the lymph node.
Do swollen lymph nodes cause cancer?
Cellular damage and genetic factors influence the formation of cancer. Swollen lymph nodes may be a reaction to cancer, or it may be a reaction to an infection.

A lymph node that becomes swollen often should be checked by a doctor, as it might be an infection that your body is having difficulty eliminating.

What tests determine you have infected lymph nodes?
Infected lymph nodes can be diagnosed through several tests, including physical examinations, blood tests to check for signs of infection or inflammation, and imaging studies like ultrasound, CT scans, or MRI. Additionally, a biopsy may be performed to analyze tissue from the lymph node for the presence of infection or cancer. These methods help determine the underlying cause and extent of the infection.
