| brill-zinsser disease | Recrudescence of epidemic typhus years after the initial attack. The agent that causes epidemic typhus (Rickettsia prowazekii) remains viable for many years and then when host defenses are down, it is reactivated causing recurrent typhus. The disease is named for the physician Nathan Brill and the great bacteriologist Hans Zinsser. (12 Dec 1998) |

| brisket disease | A disease of cattle, characterised by edematous swelling of the brisket and the tissues of the neck; the body cavities also contain large quantities of clear straw-coloured transudate; this disease results from right heart failure as a consequence of increased pulmonary resistance, which is in some way associated with movement of animals to high altitudes. Synonym: mountain sickness. (05 Mar 2000) |

| broad beta disease | Hyperlipoproteinaemia characterised by increased plasma levels of LDL, beta-lipoproteins, pre-beta-lipoproteins, cholesterol, phospholipids, and triglycerides; hypertriglyceridemia induced by a high carbohydrate diet, and glucose tolerance is abnormal; frequent eruptive xanthomas and atheromatosis, particularly coronary artery disease; biochemical defect lies in apolipoproteins; there are many varieties. Synonym: carbohydrate-induced hyperlipaemia, dysbetalipoproteinaemia, familial hyperbetalipoproteinaemia and hyperprebetalipoproteinaemia, familial hypercholesterolaemia with hyperlipaemia.

| bronzed disease | A genetic disease in which the body takes in too much iron from food, this causes excess iron to be deposited in the liver and heart and other organs, eventually leading to organ failure and death. This illness is called bronze diabetes because the kidneys often fail, leading to symptoms similar to those found with diabetes mellitus, and because the deposition of iron into the skin makes the person look like he or she has an all-over tan. It used to be believed that this disease was rare and mainly affected people of Caucasian descent, butin recent years scientists have realised it is more common and affects a wide range of ethnic groups. Some believe that this genetic defect actually helps people (especially women) survive in areas where malnutrition is widespread and iron is scarce in food. Regular venesection may help people suffering from this disease. (09 Oct 1997) |

| Bruton's disease | <disease, immunology> An inherited disease due to agammaglobulinaemia caused by a deficiency in B lymphocyte function. Inheritance: sex-linked recessive. (18 Nov 1997) |
| Buerger's disease | <cardiology> A progressive occlusive disease of the arteries and veins. The cause of Buerger's disease is unknown. Smoking appears to accelerate the occlusive effects of Buerger's. (27 Sep 1997) |
