| AIE | acute inclusion-body encephalitis; acute infectious encephalitis; acute infective endocarditis |
| BII | beat inclusion index; Billroth II [operation]; butanol-insoluble iodine |
| CIBHA | congenital inclusion-body hemolytic anemia |
| inclusion body disease | <disease> An illness in newborns caused by viral infection, symptoms includefever, cellular enlargement, microscopically-visible clumps of viralparticles or proteins in the cytoplasm and nuclei of affected cells, enlargementof the spleen and liver. Long-term effects of the disease may includemental retardation. (09 Oct 1997) |
|---|---|
| inclusion body encephalitis | <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) |
| inclusion body myositis | <radiology> Common form of inflamatory myopathy, most common in the elderly, equal sex incidence, sporadic idiopathic disease (very rarely familial), misdiagnosed as steroid-resistant polymyositis symptoms, presents as a painless slowly progressive proximal myopathy, may cause dysphagia, mild to moderate muscle wasting diagnosis, serum creatine kinase levels usually normal or only slightly elevated, EMG may show non-specific myopathic features, diagnosis on muscle biopsy, inclusion bodies seen in rimmed vacuoles in skeletal muscle fibres treatment, steroids and immunosuppression generally ineffective, rare patients reported who have made a response to treatment pathogenesis, unknown, ubiquitin, prion protein, tau protein found in inclusions, abnormal mitchondria seen in some case (12 Dec 1998) |
| inclusion body rhinitis | A respiratory disease of pigs caused by the cytomegalovirus porcine herpesvirus 2 and characterised by rhinitis and conjunctivitis in young pigs. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion cell | i cell |
| inclusion cell disease | <biochemistry> Mucolipidosis of early onset and with severe symptoms like those in Hurler's syndrome but with normal urinary mucopolysaccharides, vacuolated lymphocytes, and inclusion bodies in cultured fibroblasts (I-cells). The lysosomes lack hydrolases but high concentrations of lysosomal enzymes are found in the extracellular fluids such as serum, spinal fluid, and urine. It is associated with a deficiency of N-acetylglucosaminyl-1-phosphotransferase. The gene defect responsible probably prevents the addition of the lysosome recognition marker mannose 6 phosphate) to these enzymes so that they are not directed into the lysosomes but are released. Inheritance: autosomal recessive. Synonym: I-cell disease, inclusion cell disease. (12 Jul 2000) |
| inclusion compound | The mechanical trapping of small molecules within spaces between other molecules; e.g., the inclusion of iodine molecules by starch molecules to form the well-known red-to-black "addition compound" (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion conjunctivitis | A follicular conjunctivitis caused by Chlamydia trachomatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion conjunctivitis viruses | Former name for Chlamydia trachomatis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| inclusion dermoid | A collection of cancerous cells which form cysts that contain one or more of the three primary embryonic germ layers: skin, hair or teeth. (27 Sep 1997) |
| foetal inclusion | Unequal conjoined twins in which the incompletely developed parasite is wholly enclosed in the autosite. (05 Mar 2000) |
| adrenal cyst | <radiology> Same characteristics as renal cysts, but less common, thick wall, septations, calcifications suggests pseudocyst (12 Dec 1998) |
| adventitious cyst | 1. An accumulation of fluid in a cystlike loculus, but without an epithelial or other membranous lining. Synonym: adventitious cyst, false cyst. 2. A cyst whose wall is formed by a host cell and not by a parasite. 3. A mass of 50 or more Toxoplasma bradyzoites, found within a host cell, frequently in the brain; formerly called a pseudocyst, but now considered a true cyst enclosed in its own membrane within the host cell that may rupture to release particles that form new cysts, and apparently is infective to another vertebrate host. See: bradyzoite. Origin: pseudo-+ G. Kystis, bladder (05 Mar 2000) |
| allantoic cyst | Cyst occurring in a persistent portion of the urachus, presenting as an extraperitoneal mass in the umbilical region. It is characterised by abdominal pain, and fever if infected. It may rupture, leading to peritonitis, or it may drain through the umbilicus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| alveolar hydatid cyst | A hydatid cyst of a multiloculate type, usually in the liver, caused by Echinococcus multilocularis, adults of which are in foxes; larvae (alveolar hydatid) are found chiefly in microtine rodents, but also among humans such as trappers and others handling pelts of infected foxes and other carnivores; growth is by exogenous budding and is not limited by an outer laminated membrane as in the hydatid cyst from E. Granulosus; necrosis, cavitation, contiguous spread, and death usually ensue. Synonym: multilocular hydatid cyst, multiloculate hydatid cyst. (05 Mar 2000) |
