Is There a Virus in Cervical Lympnodes?
Virus can get from the c s f to cervical lymph nodes, and maybe they're even transported in infected cells along the way. By ligating these vessels, you get less virus in the cervical lymphnotes. They find more virous in the cerebellum and brain stem. There's more immune cells in there as well. When you ligate thesethes limb vessels, you're aapparently preventing virus from getting out of the brain. And you increase the burden in the brain, you increase mortality, you increase inflammation. It's known that we already said this is a factor in the lymphangeo genesis,. previous reports have shown with recomminet treatment it can increase
