Which of the following describes the signs of Lumpy Skin Disease?

Lumpy Skin Disease is known for a systemic illness with distinctive skin nodules and swollen lymph nodes. The fever and depression reflect the overall illness, while the nodules are firm, raised lesions that lie within the skin (intrader- mal nodules). Swollen lymph nodes are a common and characteristic finding as the infection spreads through the lymphatic system. These features together are the best match for LSD. Not typical signs like severe diarrhea point to enteric diseases, respiratory signs such as coughing with nasal discharge suggest lung or BRD-related infections, and nervous-system signs like blindness and head tilt indicate CNS or other etiologies.
