Welcome to health care magic.

The report suggest that tere are multiple enlarged lymph nodes in periportal region, mesenteric and retroperitonel.

Lymph nodal enlargement is seen in presence of any infection / inflammation, localised or systemic, malignancies and lymph nodal pathology itself.

There is thickening noted in the terminal ileum - so suspecion of the tuberculosis, as its most common site.

Any thing to ask do not hesitate.
thank you.
