| productive peritonitis | Inflammation of the peritoneum with thickening of the membrane. Synonym: productive peritonitis. Origin: pachy-+ peritonitis (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| diaphragmatic peritonitis | Peritonitis affecting mainly the peritoneal surface of the diaphragm. (05 Mar 2000) |
| diffuse peritonitis | Peritonitis throughout the peritoneal cavity. Synonym: diffuse peritonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| infectious peritonitis virus, feline | A species of coronavirus infecting cats of all ages and commonly found in catteries and zoos. Cats are often found carrying the virus but only a small proportion develop disease. (12 Dec 1998) |
| tuberculous peritonitis | <radiology> Aetiology: haematogenous spread, rupture of mesenteric node, Types: wet: exudative ascites, dry: tuberculous adenopathy and adhesions, fibrotic: abdominal mass with separation and fixation of bowel, CT: high density ascites (30 HU), peripancreatic and mesenteric adenopathy with low density, centres (caseous necrosis), irregular soft tissue density of omemtum, ** tuberculosis: gastrointestinal manifestations (12 Dec 1998) |
| feline infectious peritonitis | Common coronavirus infection of cats caused by the feline infectious peritonitis virus (infectious peritonitis virus, feline). The disease is characterised by a long incubation period, fever, depression, loss of appetite, wasting, and progressive abdominal enlargement. Infection of cells of the monocyte-macrophage lineage appears to be essential in fip pathogenesis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| fibrocaseous peritonitis | Peritonitis characterised by caseation and fibrosis, usually caused by the tubercle bacillus. (05 Mar 2000) |
| localised peritonitis | Peritonitis confined to a demarcated region of the peritoneal cavity. Synonym: circumscribed peritonitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| anaemia of chronic disease | <disease> A form of anaemia which develops as the result of a long-term infection or illness. Chronic diseases can interfere with red blood cell production in addition to shortening red blood cell life span in the body. Symptoms are largely due to the underlying disease. Haemoglobin and haematocrit are generally low. Iron studies may be low to normal. Red blood cell indices may usually normal. (27 Sep 1997) |
| benign familial chronic pemphigus | Recurrent eruption of vesicles and bullae that become scaling and crusted lesions with vesicular borders, predominantly of the neck, groin, and axillary regions; autosomal dominant inheritance, presenting in late adolescence or early adult life. Synonym: Hailey-Hailey disease. (05 Mar 2000) |
| candidiasis, chronic mucocutaneous | A clinical syndrome characterised by development, usually in infancy or childhood, of a chronic, often widespread candidiasis of skin, nails, and mucous membranes. It may be secondary to one of the immunodeficiency syndromes, inherited as an autosomal recessive trait, or associated with defects in cell-mediated immunity, endocrine disorders, dental stomatitis, or malignancy. (12 Dec 1998) |
| granulomatous disease, chronic | A recessive x-linked defect of leukocyte function in which phagocytic cells ingest but fail to digest bacteria, resulting in recurring bacterial infections with granuloma formation. (12 Dec 1998) |
| persistent chronic hepatitis | A benign chronic hepatitis that may follow acute viral hepatitis A or B, or complicate bowel diseases; after six months, liver biopsy changes are mild, unlike active chronic hepatitis; rarely, if ever, progresses to cirrhosis, portal hypertension, or liver failure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| chronic | Persisting over a long period of time. Origin: L. Chronicus, Gr. Chronos = time (18 Nov 1997) |
| chronic abscess | A long-standing collection of pus surrounded by fibrous tissue. (05 Mar 2000) |
