Hello,

* As per my clinical experience, the lymph nodes in the hilar region of the lung is secondary to inflammation of the lung parenchyma via significant pathogens as strep pneumoniae, pseudomonas or others.

* The usual time period of lymph nodes to revert back to normal physiologic size is around 3-4 months of complete regression of primary infection.

* If the lymph nodes remain enlarged with persistent size throughout this period, one must be vigilant for the diagnostic thoracoscopy and excision biopsy of the lymph node for further work up and
management guidelines.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr. Bhagyesh V. Patel
