A member asked:
Son has had mesenteric adenitis for 8 weeks now as well as back pain and low hemoglobin. what may be the cause and what tests should he have done?

See a pediatrician: Mesenteric adenitis (inflammation of lymph-nodes of the intestine), can be mistaken for appendicitis. I'll bet a ct was done. Viral and other self-limited GI track infections cause it. But significant underlying conditions and serious infections, although much more rare, can cause this also. 8 weeks is getting a bit too long, especially with other symptoms, to ignore. Go see you doctor again.
