Please try to explain the reason that how these symptoms could occur. Answers on the basis of anatomy would be greatly appreciated............... Thank You Smiling Face with Halo

♦ splenic enlargement

This suggests that the virus has been detected by the immune system. The spleen is responsible for making antibodies and removing bacteria, aged, antibody-coated and damaged blood cells.

The liver and its enzymes are needed to digest food. If the liver suffers temporary or permanent damage from an inflammation (which usually causes damage to the gallbladder as well) caused by hepatitis or other infections, your body's ability to digest fats will be reduced with greater or lesser extent... less fat absorbed by your colon = weight loss.
