Acute Schistosomiasis (Katayama's Fever) - the exact pathophysiology of this disease remains unknown. [26] It has been hypothesized to be caused by a systemic immune response due to immune complex formation ( Type III hypersensivity ) with the foreign antigens on the migratory schistosomula and the eggs and the subsequent deposition of these ...
Familial dysautonomia (FD), also known as Riley–Day syndrome, is a rare, [2] progressive, [3] recessive genetic disorder of the autonomic nervous system [2] that affects the development and survival of sensory, sympathetic, and some parasympathetic neurons in the autonomic and sensory nervous system.
By April 2021, six deaths had been linked to the disease, but the NBPH said that "in some cases, additional information is needed to determine if the cause of death was a result" of the syndrome. [1] The Department of Health restated the history at this time, as the first patient displayed symptoms in 2013 (instead of 2015 as had previously ...
The median time interval between the onset of symptoms and the diagnosis was 6 years, with a range of 26 days to 14 years. This suggests that the symptoms of MAGIC syndrome may manifest relatively long after the initial onset of symptoms. During the course of MAGIC syndrome, the signs and symptoms of BD may typically occur before those of RP. [4]

He genetically modified it so it would kill whoever it infected immediately. Fortunately, the plan was stopped by Alex and the virus was taken and quarantined by MI6.
During the next 15 years the underlying defect remained unknown but since the plasmaprotein transferrin was underglycosylated (as shown by e.g. isoelectric focusing), the new syndrome was named carbohydrate-deficient glycoprotein syndrome (CDGS) [1] Its "classic" phenotype included psychomotor retardation, ataxia, strabismus, anomalies (fat ...
Schamberg's disease, (also known as "progressive pigmentary dermatosis of Schamberg", [1] "purpura pigmentosa progressiva" (PPP), [1] and "Schamberg's purpura" [1]) is a chronic discoloration of the skin found in people of all ages, usually only affecting the feet, legs or thighs or a combination.
