Some people with Hodgkins experience no symptoms. Others have symptoms including weight loss, fever, and night sweats. This disease also causes large lymph nodes that can cause different symptoms if large enough to compress nearby structures or to cause pain. The exact symptoms depend on the location.

Hodgkins disease can have many symptoms, some times the symptoms don't appear until very late in the disease. Swollen lymph nodes are almost always present in people with Hodgkins disease. Lymph nodes prone to swelling are in the neck and chest. General pain and weakness and night sweats are common symptoms as well as being prone to infections.
