What Causes Appetite Loss And Severe Fatigue?
What does a symptom of no appetite for several weeks and increasing weakness in a 86 year old who does not have nausea or any bowel abnormality or any other symptom mean? She had a blood test one month ago that indicated an infection and took antibiotics but only has a problem with arthritic knees. She had an injection of hypotonic acid a month ago from a clinic that was just closed for bad hygiene but she had no localized infection.

Hello,
There sounds to be a systemic inflammatory response to the underlying possible pathogen as bacteria or virus. A strong prediction of typhoid aetiology can be practised here to proceed further.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
