| diphtheritic | <medicine> 1. Pertaining to, or connected with, diphtheria. 2. Having characteristics resembling those of diphtheria; as, diphtheritic inflammation of the bladder. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
|---|---|
| diphtheritic conjunctivitis | A severe conjunctival inflammation caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae and characterised by an infiltrating membrane which on removal leaves a raw surface. Synonym: membranous conjunctivitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheritic enteritis | Enteritis with the formation of a membrane or a false membrane. See: pseudomembranous enterocolitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheritic membrane | The false membrane forming on the mucous surfaces in diphtheria. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheritic neuropathy | A rapidly developing peripheral neuropathy caused by a toxin elaborated by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheritic paralysis | <otolaryngology> Paralysis affecting the uvula most frequently, but also any other muscle, due to toxic neuritis; usually appears in the second or third week following the beginning of the attack of diphtheria. Synonym: diphtheritic paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheritic ulcer | An ulcer covered with a gray adherent membrane, caused by Corynebacterium diphtheriae. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute demyelinating polyneuropathy | <neurology> A neurologic condition. Synonym: Guillain-Barre syndrome. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| acute inflammatory polyneuropathy | <neurology, syndrome> Acute infective polyneuritis that results in a form of peripheral neuropathy with temporary loss of movement and sensation due to inflammation of multiple nerves and loss of myelin. The exact cause is unknown but has been associated with an abnormal immune response to viral infection, particularly cytomegalovirus infection, in which there is cell-mediated immunity to a component of myelin. The disease may be autoimmune in origin and complete recovery can take up to six months. Synonym: Guillain-Barre syndrome (12 Jul 2000) |
| alcoholic polyneuropathy | <neurology> A disorder that occurs secondary to the damage to nerve cells from habitual alcohol abuse. The effects of alcoholic polyneuropathy may be due in part to the direct toxic effect alcohol has on nervous tissue in combination with specific nutritional deficiencies (for example B1 or thiamin deficiency and B12 deficiency). Common symptoms include sensory changes, numbness, tingling, muscle weakness, muscle cramps, heat intolerance, impotence, difficulty urinating, swallowing difficulty, speech impairment, diarrhoea and constipation. Origin: Gr. Pathos = disease (27 Sep 1997) |
| arsenical polyneuropathy | An axon loss polyneuropathy that results from subacute or chronic arsenic poisoning; almost always preceded by gastrointestinal symptoms; one of the heavy metal neuropathies. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axonal polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which axon degeneration is the sole/predominant feature; many aetiologies, particularly toxic and metabolic; on nerve conduction studies, affects amplitudes of the responses, but does not cause conduction slowing or block. Synonym: axonal polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| axon loss polyneuropathy | A type of polyneuropathy in which axon degeneration is the sole/predominant feature; many aetiologies, particularly toxic and metabolic; on nerve conduction studies, affects amplitudes of the responses, but does not cause conduction slowing or block. Synonym: axonal polyneuropathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| buckthorn polyneuropathy | Ascending polyneuropathy resulting from ingestion of the fruit of Karwinskia humboldtiana. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy | An uncommon, acquired, demyelinating sensorimotor polyneuropathy, clinically characterised by insidious onset, and slow evolution, (either steady progression or stepwise), and chronic course; symmetrical weakness is a predominant symptom, often involving proximal leg muscles, accompanied by paresthesias, but not pain; CSF examination shows elevated protein, while electrodiagnostic studies reveal evidence of a demyelinating process, primarily conduction slowing rather than block; sometimes responds to prednisone. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diphtheritic polyneuropathy |
Dejerine's syndrome (def. 3).
