ICD-Code B94.81: Sequelae of infectious mononucleosis caused by gammaherpesviruses
You are experiencing symptoms that developed as a result of glandular fever.
Glandular fever can cause a wide range of symptoms. Even after the disease itself has passed, individual symptoms may persist or new symptoms may occur. Some of the body's functions may become restricted as a result.
Persistent fever and swollen lymph nodes can occur following glandular fever. The lymph nodes are small bean-shaped objects. They are found throughout the body. Lymph nodes filter the tissue fluid. They are part of the defense system.
Changes to the spleen or liver may also be present. The spleen is on the top left side of the abdomen. Old blood cells are broken down in the spleen. Furthermore, defense cells are stored. If the defense cells are needed, they are then released from the spleen into the blood. The liver is an important organ on the top right of the abdomen. For example, it helps with blood clotting and detoxifying the body. Nutrients from food are processed in the liver. Infectious mononucleosis can also increase the risk of certain cancers and immune system disorders.
