bilateral inflammation of cervical lymph nodes observed


Explanation:
I'm uneasy about the literal translation of "palparse" as "palpate/palpation" here, because inflammation typically produces visible signs in the form of a redness and swelling of the tissue affected and thus scarcely needs to be palpated. Also, consider the following: The term "inflammation on palpation" just now produced only 41 Google hits, where "inflammation observed" produced over 26,000 hits.

neutral  liz askew: but the doctor palpates the area, and so can feel whether the area is inflamed or not.
