B23: Human immunodeficiency virus [HIV] disease resulting in other conditions
B23.2: HIV disease resulting in haematological and immunological abnormalities, not elsewhere classified
HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) disease resulting in haematological and immunological abnormalities is a condition wherein HIV infection has led to disorders related to the blood, immune system, or both, that are not classified in other categories. Hematological denotes conditions related to the blood, and abnormalities may manifest in various forms such as anemia or other blood cell deficiencies. Immunological refers to conditions related to the immune system, which is the body’s defense system against infections. Abnormalities can lead to a weakened immune system, making the body more susceptible to infections. These abnormalities are directly linked to the effect of the virus on the body, and are considered a part of the disease progression of HIV. Symptoms can vary widely but commonly include frequent infections, unexplained fatigue, and weight loss.
