5. Swollen Glands
The body has a way of letting people know if something is wrong with the immune system. These signals come in the form of symptoms that will help you determine the type of condition you are likely to suffer from. Glands are important in playing their part along with the system. If they get damaged or infected, the body shows the signs. In this case, when a person gets infected by WNV, their lymph glands get inflamed in the process of fighting the infection.
This is how the body shows you that there is a foreign body in the system.
However, not everyone infected with the WNV shows this symptom. The World Health Organization (WHO) states that 20% of WNV patients are prone to have WNV fever. Therefore, chances of having inflamed glands, in this case, would be moderately low as swollen glands are generally the system’s way of fighting infections.
