Refers to the ileum caused by upper respiratory tract infection, acute mesenteric lymphadenitis in the large intestine. basic knowledge The proportion of illness: the incidence rate is about 0.005%-0.008% Susceptible population: common in children under 15 years old Mode of infection: non-infectious Complications: intussusception, retroperitoneal lymphadenitis
Cause
Causes of Brenneman syndrome
Viral infection:
Mainly caused by Coxsackie B virus or other viruses. Due to the abundant lymphatic drainage in the distal ileum, the ileum and the large intestine area have many lymph nodes. After the upper respiratory tract infection, the virus and its toxins reach the lymph nodes in the area along the blood circulation, causing mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymph nodes. inflammation.

(1) Actively exercise and enhance physical fitness;
(2) Do not wear too much in normal times, and increase or decrease clothes when the temperature changes;
(3) timely treatment of diseases that are likely to induce upper respiratory tract infections, such as malnutrition, zinc deficiency, vitamin A deficiency, and rickets.
Complication
Brenneman syndrome complications Complications, intussusception, retroperitoneal lymphadenitis
Often complicated by upper respiratory tract infections, intussusception, mesenteric or retroperitoneal lymphadenitis.
Symptom
