| atypical mycobacteria | Species of mycobacteria other than M. Tuberculosis or M. Bovis that can cause disease in immunocompromised humans. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical mycobacterial infection | <microbiology> Infection with organisms from the Mycobacterium genus other than tuberculosis. Risk factors include immunocompromised patients and those with AIDS. Mycobacterium avium intracellulare is an example which frequently infects AIDS patients. Atypical mycobacterial infections can cause abscesses, septic arthritis and osteomyelitis. Treatment can be difficult due to the emergence of resistance to standard antitubercular antibiotics. (27 Sep 1997) |
| atypical nevi | <dermatology> Moles whose appearance is different than normal moles. They may be larger and have irregular borders. Their colour may not be uniform and they may be flat or raised above the skin surface. Any mole that appears irregular may be suspect for skin cancer. (16 Dec 1997) |
| atypical pneumonia | <chest medicine> This refers to a type of pneumonia that does not follow the typical signs and symptoms of pneumonia. A number of different viral and bacterial agents have been identified which can cause this form of respiratory infection. Examples include Chlamydia pneumonia, psittacosis, Mycoplasma, influenza A or B, adenovirus and Legionella. Antibiotics will be necessary in all but the mildest cases. Symptoms generally improve in less than 2 weeks. (27 Sep 1997) |

| atypical trigeminal neuralgia | Periodic pain in any region of the face, teeth, tongue, and occasionally in the occipital or shoulder area, which lasts several minutes to several days but has no trigger point and lacks the paroxysmal character of tic douloureux. Synonym: atypical facial neuralgia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| atypical verrucous endocarditis | Verrucous endocarditis sometimes associated with disseminated lupus erythematosus. Synonym: atypical verrucous endocarditis, Libman-Sacks syndrome, nonbacterial verrucous endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| regressing atypical histiocytosis | A rare disease characterised clinically by multiple ulcerating cutaneous papules and nodules which show spontaneous regression; the skin is infiltrated by malignant-appearing histiocytes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pneumonia, atypical interstitial, of cattle | A cattle disease of uncertain cause, probably an allergic reaction. (12 Dec 1998) |

Flavescens, m. Fortuitum, m. Gilvum, m. Gordonae, m. Intracellulare (see mycobacterium avium complex), m. Kansasii (kansas), m. Marinum, m. Obuense, m. Scrofulaceum, m. Szulgai, m. Terrae, m. Ulcerans, m. Xenopi. (12 Dec 1998) |
| mycobacterium infections, atypical | Infections with so called atypical mycobacteria (tuberculoid bacilli): m. Kansasii (kansas), m. Marinum, m. Scrofulaceum, m. Flavescens, m. Gordonae, m. Obuense, m. Gilvum, m. Duvali, m. Szulgai, m. Intracellulare (see mycobacterium avium complex), m. Xenopi (littorale), m. Ulcerans, m. Buruli, m. Terrae, m. Fortuitum (minetti, giae), m. Chelonae. (12 Dec 1998) |
| primary atypical pneumonia | An acute systemic disease with involvement of the lungs, caused by Mycoplasma pneumoniae and marked by high fever, cough, relatively few physical signs, and scattered densities on X-rays; usually associated with development of cold agglutinins and antibodies to the bacteria. Synonym: atypical pneumonia, Eaton agent pneumonia, mycoplasmal pneumonia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adenoid squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A malignant neoplasm consisting chiefly of glandular epithelium (adenocarcinoma), usually well differentiated, with foci of metaplasia to squamous (or epidermoid) neoplastic cells. Synonym: adenoid squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
| basal squamous cell carcinoma | <tumour> A carcinoma of the skin which in structure and behaviour is considered transitional between basal cell and squamous cell carcinoma The term should not be used for the much more common keratotic variety of basal cell carcinoma, in which the tumour cells are of basal type but which contains small foci of abrupt keratinization. Synonym: basal squamous cell carcinoma. (05 Mar 2000) |
