So both lymph nodes and spleen are secondary lymphatic organs that contain macrophages and you become vulnerable to encapsulated organisms w/o spleen.
Do you think macrophages in lymph nodes do the same removing encapsulated bacteria and you would also be vulnerable to encapsulated organisms when you lose a good amount of lymph nodes?
Many thanks in advance.
