We examined 548 healthy neonates and infants to document the frequency, size, and location of palpable lymph nodes. The subjects consisted of 214 neonates from birth to 4 weeks of age and 334 infants from 4 weeks to 1 year of age. All of the infants were asymptomatic and had been free of major or minor systemic or cutaneous infections in the past. Of the 214 neonates, 73 (34%) had palpable nodes at one or more sites. Of the 334 infants, 190 (57%) had palpable lymph nodes. Inguinal, cervical, and axillary lymph nodes can be palpable in neonates and infants. Supraclavicular nodes are not generally palpable. The commonest site of palpable nodes is the inguinal area in neonates and the cervical area in older infants. It would appear that the palpable nodes noted in the neonatal period do not disappear but persist. This knowledge is useful in determining when adenopathy may be abnormal.
我们检查了548名健康的新生儿和婴儿，以记录可触及淋巴结的频率、大小和位置。研究对象包括214名出生至4周龄的新生儿和334名4周龄至1岁的婴儿。所有婴儿均无症状，过去无重大或轻微的全身或皮肤感染。在214名新生儿中，73名（34%）在一个或多个部位可触及淋巴结。在334名婴儿中，190名（57%）可触及淋巴结。新生儿和婴儿的腹股沟、颈部和腋窝淋巴结可被触及。锁骨上淋巴结一般不可触及。可触及淋巴结最常见的部位在新生儿为腹股沟区，在较大婴儿为颈部。似乎新生儿期发现的可触及淋巴结不会消失而是持续存在。这一知识有助于确定何时淋巴结病可能异常。
