Lymphangitis

The lymphatic system filters a whitish-clear fluid called lymph, which contains bacteria-killing white blood cells. Lymph travels through the body along lymphatic vessels and collects fats, bacteria, and other waste products from cells and tissues.

Lymphangitis is an infection of the lymph vessels (channels). It is a complication of bacterial infections. Lymphangitis most often results from an acute streptococcal infection of the skin. Lymphangitis may be a sign that a skin infection is getting worse. Infectious lymphangitis occurs when viruses and bacteria invade the vessels of your lymphatic system, typically through an infected cut or wound. Tender red streaks often radiate from the wound toward the nearest lymph glands. Other symptoms of Lymphangitis include fever, chills, and a general sense of illness.
