Systemic Symptoms at Diagnosis

Notes

**Note 1**: Each stage should be classified as either A or B according to the absence or presence of defined constitutional symptoms, such as: 1. Fevers: Unexplained fever with temperature above 38 degrees C; 2. Night sweats: Drenching sweats that require change of bedclothes; 3. Weight loss: Unexplained weight loss of more than 10% of the usual body weight in the 6 months prior to diagnosis. **Note 2**: Pruritus alone does not qualify for B classification, nor does alcohol intolerance, fatigue, or a short, febrile illness associated with suspected infections. **Note 3**: Use code 000 if the History and Physical, progress notes, or consultations make no mention of B symptoms.
