| subacute sclerosing leukoencephalitis | <neurology> Chronic progressive illness seen in children a few years after measles infection and involving demyelination of the cerebral cortex. Virus apparently persists in brain cells: usually considered a slow virus disease. (18 Nov 1997) |

| subacute sclerosing panencephalitis | <neurology> Chronic progressive illness seen in children a few years after measles infection and involving demyelination of the cerebral cortex. Virus apparently persists in brain cells: usually considered a slow virus disease. (18 Nov 1997) |
| subacute spongiform encephalopathy | A form of spongiform encephalopathy that is associated with a "slow virus", which to date has not been adequately described, is transmissible, and has a rapidly progressive, fatal course; e.g., Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, kuru, Gerstmann-Straussler syndrome, scrapie. (05 Mar 2000) |
| thyroiditis, subacute | Inflammation of the thyroid gland after a viral illness. (12 Dec 1998) |
| abacterial thrombotic endocarditis | Verrucous endocardial lesions occurring in the terminal stages of many chronic infectious and wasting diseases. Synonym: abacterial thrombotic endocarditis, cachectic endocarditis, terminal endocarditis, thromboendocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute bacterial endocarditis | A type of bacterial endocarditis caused by pyogenic organisms such as haemolytic streptococci or staphylococci. (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) |
| bacteria-free stage of bacterial endocarditis | Endocarditis described prior to the antibiotic era and presumably due to spontaneous healing of the bacterial vegetations. (05 Mar 2000) |
| bacterial endocarditis | Endocarditis caused by the direct invasion of bacteria and leading to deformity and destruction of the valve leaflets. Two types are acute bacterial endocarditis and subacute bacterial endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| cachectic endocarditis | Verrucous endocardial lesions occurring in the terminal stages of many chronic infectious and wasting diseases. Synonym: abacterial thrombotic endocarditis, cachectic endocarditis, terminal endocarditis, thromboendocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| valvular endocarditis | Inflammation confined to the endocardium of the valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| malignant endocarditis | Acute bacterial endocarditis, usually secondary to suppuration elsewhere and running a fulminating course. Synonym: septic endocarditis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| vegetative endocarditis | <cardiology, pathology> Endocarditis associated with the presence of fibrinous clots (vegetations) forming on the ulcerated surfaces of the valves. (05 Mar 2000) |
| marantic endocarditis | Nonbacterial thrombotic endocarditis associated with cancer and other debilitating diseases. (05 Mar 2000) |
| rheumatic endocarditis | Endocardial involvment as part of rheumatic heart disease, recognised clinically by valvular involvement; in the acute stage, there may be tiny fibrin vegetations along the lines of closure of the valve leaflets, with subsequent fibrous thickening and shortening of the leaflets.
