Overview

There is no established classification system for lymphangitis. However, it may be classified by etiology as infectious or non infectious, or by the clinical form of the infection as acute or chronic.

Classification

There is no established classification system for lymphangitis. However, based on the etiology, lymphangitis can be broadly classified into:

• Lymphangitis due to infectious etiology
• Lymphangitis due to non-infectious etiology

Based on the clinical form, lymphangitis due to infection can be further classified into:

• Acute Lymphangitis
• Chronic Granulomatous Lymphangitis
