An awful lot of diseases can cause you to loose weight or prevent you gaining weight through a variety of mechanisms. Gastrointestinal parasites will use up a portion of any nutrients you put in your body. Some bacterial or viral diseases can prevent you from absorbing nutrients by causing vomiting, diarrhoea, malabsorption, or prevent swallowing through mechanical means. Most illnesses will drive down your appetite and cause your body to consume higher amounts of energy if you have a fever.
