The lymphatic system transports fluid and immune cells throughout the body to maintain fluid balance and defend against disease. Hodgkin's disease is a type of lymphoma cancer originating from white blood cells that affects lymph tissue. Common symptoms include enlarged lymph nodes, fever, night sweats and weight loss. Treatment depends on disease stage and may involve chemotherapy, radiation therapy, or both. Lymphadenitis is an infection of the lymph nodes caused by bacteria, viruses or fungi that causes swelling. Treatment involves antibiotics, anti-inflammatory drugs and surgery if abscesses form. The immune system defends the body through immune cells and responses that attack pathogens and causes of disease. Kaposi's sarcoma is a cancer causing skin lesions and growths in

3. Transports watery clear fluid called lymph which then distributes immune cells and other factors throughout the body.

4. Contains immune cells called lymphocytes which then protect against antigens trying to invade the body.

6. Helps maintain fluid balance.

7. Defends the body against disease.

8. Absorbs lipids from intestines and transports them to the blood.

10. Lymphoma is the cancer of lymph tissue found in lymph nodes, spleen, liver and bone marrow.

11. Type of cancer originating from white blood cells.

12. One of the most common types of cancer of the lymphatic system.

13. First sign of this disease is enlarged lymph nodes.

14. The cause is unknown.

16. High fever and chills.

17. Night sweats.

18. Weight loss.

19. Loss of appetite.

20. Itchy skin.

22. The age of the patient can also determine the type of treatment used.

23. The first two stages can be treated with chemotherapy, radiation therapy or a combination of both.

24. Stage three and four are treated with chemotherapy alone.

26. Infection of the lymph nodes.

27. Common complication of certain bacterial infections.

28. Occurs when glands become enlarged by inflammation, usually in response to bacteria, viruses and fungi.

29. May occur after skin infections or other bacterial infections.

30. Sometimes it is caused by very rare infections such as tuberculosis.

32. Antibiotics are used to treat any underlying infections.

33. Pain killers are used to control pain.

34. Anti-inflammatory medications are used to reduce any inflammation or swelling.

35. Cool compresses are also used to reduce inflammation and pain.

36. Surgery may be needed to drain any abscess.

38. Defend people against germs and microorganisms.

39. Keep people healthy and fight infections.

40. Attack organisms and substances that invade body systems and cause disease.

41. This is made possible through series of steps called the immune response.

43. Patches are usually red or purple.

44. Made up of cancer cells and blood cells.

45. If the cancer spreads to the digestive tract or lungs, bleeding can result.

46. Typically seen in patients with AIDS.

48. These sores may appear on the feet, ankles, thighs, arms, hands and face of the body.

49. Bleeding from gastrointestinal lesions.

50. Spitting up of blood or bloody mucus from lungs or throat.

51. Shortness of breath caused by the lesions on the lungs.
