It is contiguous and it means touching or next to.

Reply:It means the disease spreads in a continuous fashion. For example, if you find diseased lymph nodes in one part of the body and another set of disease lymph nodes in another part of the body, you can be assured that all the lymph nodes in between will also be affected.





In contrast, non-Hodgkin's lymphoma is noncontinguous--you will find disease in different parts of the body without necessarily anything in between them.
Reply:it's actually "contagious" and if a disease is contagious it means that u can catch it from someone that has it.


ex.small pox.
