A member asked:
Cat scratched hand deep few weeks ago here it is few weeks later and lymph nodes in groin are swollen. is it related to cat scratch?'

Unlikely: Lymph nodes are are regional in their work, meaning they specialize in accommodating the area where they are located. The glands involved would be between the scratch and the heart. Any reactivity in the groin would suggest some process on the involved leg.
