| syphilitic aneurysm | An aneurysm, usually involving the thoracic aorta, resulting from tertiary syphilitic aortitis. (05 Mar 2000) |
|---|---|
| syphilitic aortitis | A common manifestation of tertiary syphilis, involving the thoracic aorta, where destruction of elastic tissue in the media results in dilation and aneurysm formation. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic cirrhosis | Cirrhosis of the liver occurring as a result of tertiary or congenital syphilis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic fever | The elevation of temperature often present in the early roseolous stage of secondary syphilis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic leukoderma | A fading of the roseola of secondary syphilis, leaving reticulated depigmented and hyperpigmented areas located chiefly on the sides of the neck. Synonym: leukoderma colli, melanoleukoderma colli. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic nephritis | A rare complication of congenital and secondary syphilis, with the nephrotic syndrome, resulting from glomerular immune-complex deposits. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic roseola | Usually the first eruption of syphilis, occurring 6 to 12 weeks after the initial lesion. Synonym: erythematous syphilid, macular syphilid. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic stroke | <pathology> A stroke that occurs as a complication of a tertiary syphilis infection. The underlying cause is destruction of the carotid arteries which supply the brain. (27 Sep 1997) |
| syphilitic teeth | The teeth of congenital syphilis in which the incisal edge is notched and narrower than the cervical area. See: Hutchinson's crescentic notch. Synonym: notched teeth, screwdriver teeth, syphilitic teeth. (05 Mar 2000) |
| syphilitic ulcer | <dermatology> The primary skin lesion of syphilis which begins at the site of infection after an interval of 10-30 days as a papule or red ulcerated skin lesion. (27 Sep 1997) |
| aphasia, primary progressive | A type of aphasia appearing gradually and gradually worsening without any major change in other cognitive functions. It is regarded by some authors as a syndrome which may be due to various degenerative diseases of the cerebral cortex (notably alzheimer disease, owing to its frequency), while others see in it an autonomous disease related to a neuropathological process that is distinct from the main degenerative dementias. The principal clinical peculiarity of primary progressive aphasia is that it spares the patient's autonomy for a long time, but ultimately turns into global dementia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bovine progressive degenerative myeloencephalopathy | A familiar myeloencephalopathy of brown Swiss cattle characterised by bilateral hindleg weakness and ataxia and deficient proprioceptive reflexes. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rapidly progressive glomerulonephritis | <nephrology> A relatively uncommon (affecting 1 out of 10,000 people) form of acute glomerulonephritis that results in damage within the glomerulus of the kidney. There is rapid loss of kidney function with the formation of crescents on microscopic analysis (kidney biopsy). This disorder may result in acute glomerulonephritis or nephrotic syndrome, but ultimately results in renal failure and end-stage renal disease. Symptoms include smoky coloured urine (pyuria), decreased urine output, swelling and hypertension. Any conditions which can cause a vasculitis increase the risk of this disorder. Some examples include lupus, Goodpasture's syndrome, Henoch-Schonlein purpura, IgA nephropathy, membranoproliferative glomerulonephritis, anti-glomerular basement membrane antibody disease, history for malignant tumours and exposure to hydrocarbon solvents.

| pneumonia, progressive interstitial, of sheep | Chronic respiratory disease caused by the visna-maedi virus. It was formerly believed to be identical with jaagsiekte (pulmonary adenomatosis, ovine) but is now recognised as a separate entity. (12 Dec 1998) |
| primary progressive cerebellar degeneration | A familial ataxic condition related to cerebellar degeneration. (05 Mar 2000) |
