Much less often the inflammation is the result of direct hit of bacteria directly in lymph nodes through a travmirovannost of integuments.

The lymph nodes located in armpits are the filter of absorbent vessels of a shoulder girdle, hands, bodies of a stomach (those that are located above a navel) and bodies of a thorax which are sources of the infection extending through them to the area of armpits.

In cases of destructive forms of axillary lymphadenitis (purulent inflammations) intoxication symptoms appear.

At a chronic form of a disease only increase and cohesion among themselves of lymph nodes is observed. The simple form of an inflammation which is not followed by purulent process proceeds with the limited center of an inflammation in education capsule borders. Development of destruction leads to the fact that the inflammation begins to extend to surrounding fabrics.

Severe forms of axillary lymphadenitis lead to development of pyoinflammatory process of cellulose (adenoflegmena) with the softening centers which at inefficient or untimely treatment extend further with development of a septicopyemia or thrombophlebitis.
