B-symptoms relate to lymphoma. - Olive
[ In Reply To ..]B-symptoms are so called because lymphoma staging includes both a number (I-IV) and a letter (A or B). "A" indicates the absence of systemic symptoms, while "B" indicates their presence.
B symptoms include:
Fever greater than 38°C. Pel-Ebstein fever, the classic intermittent fever associated with Hodgkin disease, occurs at variable intervals of days to weeks and lasts for 1-2 weeks before resolving. However, fever associated with lymphoma can follow virtually any pattern. Drenching sweats, especially at night. Unintentional weight loss of >10% of normal body weight over a period of 6 months or less.
