According to my medical dictionary... Status Lymphaticus: A hyperplastic condition of all lymphatic tissue, the spleen, bone marrow & thymus. The thymus enlarges together with lymph glands and lymphoid tissue elsewhere in the body. People with this condition have a delicate framework, slight musculature, delicate cardiovascular system, low blood pressure, low blood sugar and lymphocytosis. They are particularly susceptible to shock and infection. E-mail me privately if you have any questions that I may be able to answer.
