Paediatric examination. Doctor checking a 3-year-old boys glands to see if they are swollen. Swelling of the glands (lymphadenopathy) is very common in children and can be caused by a minor infection. The glands, or lymph nodes, are part of the bodys immune system and contain white blood cells that attack invading micro-organisms. During an infection the glands enlarge as they become more active, producing warm, tender lumps that can be felt under the skin around the neck

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this print by TEK IMAGE/SCIENCE PHOTO LIBRARY, we witness a poignant moment during a paediatric examination. A caring doctor is seen attentively checking the glands of a 3-year-old boy to determine if they are swollen. Swelling of the glands, known as lymphadenopathy, is a common occurrence in children and often indicates a minor infection. The glands, also referred to as lymph nodes, play an essential role in our body's immune system. They house white blood cells that combat invading micro-organisms. When an infection occurs, these glands become more active and enlarge, resulting in warm and tender lumps that can be felt beneath the skin around the neck. This image beautifully captures both compassion and expertise as the doctor carefully examines the young patient using her medical equipment. The stethoscope draped around her neck symbolizes her dedication to diagnosing and treating childhood ailments with precision. The diverse composition of this photograph adds depth to its narrative; it showcases individuals from different backgrounds coming together for one purpose: ensuring the well-being of children. This snapshot serves as a reminder of how crucial pediatricians are in safeguarding our little ones' health. With its informative context and visually striking imagery, this print offers insight into the world of pediatric medicine while highlighting Science Photo Library's commitment to delivering exceptional visual resources for educational purposes.
