Inflammation of the glands and lymph nodes, combining inflammation of adenoid tissue with lymphadenitis.
From Greek adeno- 'gland' + logo- or 'o' (connective) + lymph + -aden- (from Greek aden 'gland') + -itis 'inflammation'. A compound medical term for simultaneous glandular and lymphoid inflammation.
Adenologaditis is a mouthful that most modern doctors would never use—medical language naturally evolves toward shorter terms, so this historical term shows how over-descriptive 19th-century medical terminology could become!
