| bullous keratopathy | Oedema of the corneal stroma and epithelium; occurs in Fuchs' epithelial dystrophy, advanced glaucoma and iridocyclitis, and sometimes after intraocular lens implantation. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| bullous myringitis | <pathology> An infectious disorder of the eardrum resulting in painful blisters on the surface of the tympanic membrane. Can be a feature of otitis media caused by Mycoplasma infection. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bullous oedema | A reddened, swollen appearance of the ureteral orifice in the bladder wall, frequently observed with distal ureteral calculi or in tuberculosis of the ureter. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bullous oedema vesicae | A prominent area of focal oedema involving the bladder mucosa, consisting of elevated masses of edematous tissue or clusters of clear fluid-filled vesicles; often associated with chronic inflammation or irritation secondary to tubes, foreign bodies, or perivesical inflammation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bullous pemphigoid | <dermatology> Form of pemphigoid (which also affects mucous membranes), in which blisters (bulli) form on the skin. Patients have circulating antibody (usually IgG) to basement membrane of stratified epithelium although the antibody titre does not correlate with the severity of the disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| bullous pemphiguoid | A disease characterised by tense blistering eruptions of the skin. Caused by antibodies abnormally accumulating in a layer of the skin called the basement membrane. Can be chronic and mild without affecting the general health. It is diagnosed by skin biopsy showing the abnormal antibodies deposited in the skin layer. Treatment is with topical cortisone creams, but sometimes requires high doses of cortisone ( steroids ) taken internally. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bullous syphilid | A rare manifestation of congenital syphilis. Synonym: pemphigoid syphilid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| pemphigoid, bullous | A chronic and relatively benign subepidermal blistering disease usually of the elderly and without histopathologic acantholysis. (12 Dec 1998) |
| chronic bullous dermatosis of childhood | A rare self-limiting bullous disease, chiefly of the trunk, perioral, and pelvic areas, with onset in the first decade, successively less severe recurrences, and total remission at adolescence; linear epidermal basement membrane zone deposit of IgA is found in involved and in normal skin. Synonym: linear IgA bullous disease in children. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dermolytic bullous dermatosis | Form of epidermolysis bullosa characterised by atrophy of blistered areas, severe scarring, and nail changes. It is most often present at birth or in early infancy and occurs in both autosomal dominant and recessive forms. (12 Dec 1998) |
| linear IgA bullous disease in children | A rare self-limiting bullous disease, chiefly of the trunk, perioral, and pelvic areas, with onset in the first decade, successively less severe recurrences, and total remission at adolescence; linear epidermal basement membrane zone deposit of IgA is found in involved and in normal skin. Synonym: linear IgA bullous disease in children. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal hyperplasia, congenital | A group of inherited disorders of adrenal steroidogenesis, the physical expression of which varies with the sex of the patient, the severity of the congenital enzyme defect, and the age at which the defect makes its presence felt. The most common form, the simple virilizing form, is due to a 21-hydroxylase deficiency. There is also a salt-losing form (a more complete 21-hydroxylase deficiency), a hypertensive form (11-hydroxylase deficiency), a 17-hydroxylase deficiency form, a desmolase deficiency form, and a 3-beta-hydroxysteroid deficiency form. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaemia, dyserythropoietic, congenital | A familial disorder characterised by anaemia with multinuclear erythroblasts, karyorrhexis, asynchrony of nuclear and cytoplasmic maturation, and various nuclear abnormalities of bone marrow erythrocyte precursors. Type II is the most common of the 3 types of congenital dyserythropoietic anaemia; it is often referred to as hempas, based on the hereditary erythroblast multinuclearity with positive acidified serum test. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaemia, haemolytic, congenital | Haemolytic anaemia due to various intrinsic defects of the erythrocyte. (12 Dec 1998) |
| anaemia, haemolytic, congenital nonspherocytic | Any one of a group of congenital haemolytic anaemias in which there is no abnormal haemoglobin or spherocytosis and in which there is a defect of glycolysis in the erythrocyte. In some cases, pyruvate kinase deficiency has been demonstrated; in other cases, glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase deficiency has been demonstrated. (12 Dec 1998) |
