Label	Id	Description
Myelitis	D009187	[Inflammation of the spinal cord. Relatively common etiologies include infections; AUTOIMMUNE DISEASES; SPINAL CORD; and ischemia (see also SPINAL CORD VASCULAR DISEASES). Clinical features generally include weakness, sensory loss, localized pain, incontinence, and other signs of autonomic dysfunction.]
Diffuse Axonal Injury	D020833	[A relatively common sequela of blunt head injury, characterized by a global disruption of axons throughout the brain. Associated clinical features may include NEUROBEHAVIORAL MANIFESTATIONS; PERSISTENT VEGETATIVE STATE; DEMENTIA; and other disorders.]
Brain Injuries, Diffuse	D000070625	[Brain injuries occurring over a wide area instead of specific focal area.]
Parasitemia	D018512	[The presence of parasites (especially malarial parasites) in the blood. (Dorland, 27th ed)]
Sepsis	D018805	[Systemic inflammatory response syndrome with a proven or suspected infectious etiology. When sepsis is associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection, it is called severe sepsis. When sepsis is accompanied by HYPOTENSION despite adequate fluid infusion, it is called SEPTIC SHOCK., Systemic disease associated with the presence of pathogenic microorganisms or their toxins in the blood., Sepsis associated with organ dysfunction distant from the site of infection., Septicemia caused by pyogenic microorganisms (e.g., STAPHYLOCOCCUS; BACILLUS), resulting in the formation of secondary foci of SUPPURATION and multiple ABSCESSES.]
Miller Fisher Syndrome	D019846	[A variant of the GUILLAIN-BARRE SYNDROME characterized by the acute onset of oculomotor dysfunction, ataxia, and loss of deep tendon reflexes with relative sparing of strength in the extremities and trunk. The ataxia is produced by peripheral sensory nerve dysfunction and not by cerebellar injury. Facial weakness and sensory loss may also occur. The process is mediated by autoantibodies directed against a component of myelin found in peripheral nerves. (Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1313; Neurology 1987 Sep;37(9):1493-8)]
Guillain-Barre Syndrome	D020275	[An acute inflammatory autoimmune neuritis caused by T cell- mediated cellular immune response directed towards peripheral myelin. Demyelination occurs in peripheral nerves and nerve roots. The process is often preceded by a viral or bacterial infection, surgery, immunization, lymphoma, or exposure to toxins. Common clinical manifestations include progressive weakness, loss of sensation, and loss of deep tendon reflexes. Weakness of respiratory muscles and autonomic dysfunction may occur. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, pp1312-1314)]
Leg Length Inequality	D007870	[A condition in which one of a pair of legs fails to grow as long as the other, which could result from injury or surgery.]
Candidiasis, Oral	D002180	[Infection of the mucous membranes of the mouth by a fungus of the genus CANDIDA. (Dorland, 27th ed)]
Candidiasis, Vulvovaginal	D002181	[Infection of the VULVA and VAGINA with a fungus of the genus CANDIDA.]
Vulvovaginitis	D014848	[Inflammation of the VULVA and the VAGINA, characterized by discharge, burning, and PRURITUS.]
Fascioliasis	D005211	[Liver disease caused by infections with parasitic flukes of the genus FASCIOLA, such as FASCIOLA HEPATICA.]
Liver Diseases, Parasitic	D008109	[Liver diseases caused by infections with PARASITES, such as tapeworms (CESTODA) and flukes (TREMATODA).]
Legg-Calve-Perthes Disease	D007873	[A particular type of FEMUR HEAD NECROSIS occurring in children, mainly male, with a course of four years or so.]
Femur Head Necrosis	D005271	[Aseptic or avascular necrosis of the femoral head. The major types are idiopathic (primary), as a complication of fractures or dislocations, and LEGG-CALVE-PERTHES DISEASE.]
Leg Ulcer	D007871	[Ulceration of the skin and underlying structures of the lower extremity. About 90% of the cases are due to venous insufficiency (VARICOSE ULCER), 5% to arterial disease, and the remaining 5% to other causes.]
Lipoblastoma	D062689	[Benign tumors of fatty tissues found in infancy and childhood. It is associated chromosomal aberrations that result in activation of an oncogene on chromosome band 8q12.]
Lipoma	D008067	[A benign tumor composed of fat cells (ADIPOCYTES). It can be surrounded by a thin layer of connective tissue (encapsulated), or diffuse without the capsule., A rare benign human tumor consisting of BROWN ADIPOCYTES resembling those found in some hibernating animals.]
Legionnaires' Disease	D007877	[An acute, sometimes fatal, pneumonia-like bacterial infection characterized by high fever, malaise, muscle aches, respiratory disorders and headache. It is named for an outbreak at the 1976 Philadelphia convention of the American Legion.]
Legionellosis	D007876	[Infections with bacteria of the genus LEGIONELLA.]
