Re: Palpable Lymph Nodes Feb 21, 2002 Dear Doctor, Since palpable nodes are normal as long as they are within the normal range, what is the "normal rage" ? And when you say there are normal, are they normal for an HIV infected individual or in normal in general? Thanks for clearing this up.. God Bless You |

Response from Dr. Feinberg
 "Normal" in size is not defined by any specific measurement, but by an experienced physician's assessment. "Normal" is the same for everyone, HIV- or HIV+. Perhaps another way to say this is that there are palpable lymph nodes whose palpability is not clinically significant. I know this may sound vague, but medicine is also an art, not just a science. |
