| herpetic fever | A disease of short duration, apparently infectious, marked by chills, nausea, elevation of temperature, sore throat, and a herpetic eruption on the face and other areas; primary infection is with herpes simplex virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|
| recurrent herpetic stomatitis | Reactivation of herpes simplex virus infection, characterised by vesicles and ulceration limited to the hard palate and attached gingiva. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| primary herpetic stomatitis | First infection of oral tissues with herpes simplex virus; characterised by gingival inflammation, vesicles, and ulcers. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpetic | 1. Relating to or characterised by herpes. 2. Relating to or caused by a herpetovirus or herpesvirus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpetic keratitis | <ophthalmology, pathology> Inflammation of the cornea (and conjunctiva) due to herpes virus type I, a characteristic finding on physical examination of the eye (cornea) is a dendritic pattern (crystalline or tree-like pattern). (27 Sep 1997) |
| herpetic keratoconjunctivitis | <pathology> Inflammation of the cornea (and conjunctiva) due to herpes virus type I, a characteristic finding on physical examination of the eye (cornea) is a dendritic pattern (crystalline or tree-like pattern). (27 Sep 1997) |
| herpetic meningoencephalitis | A severe form of meningoencephalitis caused by herpesvirus type 1 and associated with a high mortality rate; definite diagnosis depends upon isolation of the virus or demonstration of viral antigens. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpetic ulcer | Ulcer caused by herpes simplex virus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| herpetic whitlow | <dermatology, virology> A herpes viral infection that results in a painful blistery eruption on one of the digits. (27 Sep 1997) |
| stomatitis, herpetic | Stomatitis caused by herpes virus hominis. It usually occurs as acute herpetic stomatitis (or gingivostomatitis), an oral manifestation of primary herpes simplex seen primarily in children and adolescents. (12 Dec 1998) |
| keratitis, herpetic | A superficial, epithelial herpes virus hominis infection of the cornea, characterised by the presence of small vesicles which may break down and coalesce to form dendritic ulcers (keratitis, dendritic). (12 Dec 1998) |
| absorption fever | An elevation of temperature often occurring, without other untoward symptoms, shortly after childbirth, assumed to be due to absorption of uterine discharges through abrasions of the vaginal wall. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acclimating fever | Elevated temperature with malaise that occurs upon working in a very hot environment. (05 Mar 2000) |
| aden fever | <virology> A tropical disease caused by dengue virus (Arbovirus), that is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito of the genus Aedes). Four severity grades of the illness are seen: Grade I: fever and constitutional symptoms. Grade II: grade I plus spontaneous bleeding of skin, gums or gastrointestinal tract. Grade III: grade II plus agitation and circulatory failure. Grade IV: profound shock. Grade I infection is seen most frequently in world travelers, where it is usually self-limited and rarely fatal. The other grades are referred to as dengue haemorrhagic fever and are often fatal. Dengue haemorrhagic fever appears to be an infection by one of the other dengue viruses. Prior immunity to a different dengue virus type appears to be important in the development of the more serious haemorrhagic form. Vaccines are available. Protection from mosquitoes is an important preventive measure. (15 Jan 1998) |
| aestivoautumnal fever | <infectious disease> A tropical parasitic disease caused by one of the genus Plasmodium and carried by infected mosquitoes of the genus Anopheles. This parasite uses red blood cells to complete its reproductive cycle. Common symptoms of an attack include high fever, chills, sweats and body aches. (27 Sep 1997) |
| African haemorrhagic fever | Haemorrhagic fever associated with the morphologically similar but antigenically distinct Marburg and Ebola viruses. See: viral haemorrhagic fever. (05 Mar 2000) |
