| herpes virus 7, human | A species of the family herpesviridae isolated from activated, CD4-positive T-lymphocytes taken from the blood of a healthy human. (12 Dec 1998) |

| herpes virus, kaposi sarcoma-associated | Species of an unnamed genus, subfamily gammaherpesvirinae, isolated from patients with aids-related and "classical" kaposi sarcoma. The sequences suggest this is a new human herpes virus, unofficially identified as human herpes virus-8 (hhv-8). (12 Dec 1998) |
| herpes zoster virus | <virology> A virus in the family Herpesviridae which causeschickenpox initially and may go dormant and later re-activate, causing the disease shingles. Chickenpox is a common, highly communicabledisease that causes fever and fluid-filled blisters on the skin.Shingles are characterised by extremely painful skin eruptions. (09 Oct 1997) |
| MAPKAP kinase-2 reactivating kinase | <enzyme> A mapk-like enzyme; homologous to p42(mapk) and p44(mapk); activated by phosphorylation of serine/threonine and tyrosine residues Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: mapkap kinase-2 rk (26 Jun 1999) |
| leukocyte tyrosine kinase receptor tyrosine kinase | <enzyme> May be receptor for pre-b lymphocyte growth or differentiation factor; aa sequence given in first source Registry number: EC 2.7.1.- Synonym: ltk receptor tyrosine kinase, ltk receptor tk, ltk protein, leukocyte tyrosine kinase (ltk) (26 Jun 1999) |
| gastroenteritis virus type A | A RNA virus, about 27 nm in diameter, which has not been cultured in vitro; it is the cause of epidemic nonbacterial gastroenteritis; at least five antigenically distinct serotypes have been recognised, including the Norwalk agent. These viruses are probably classified with the Caliciviruses in the family Caliciviridae. Synonym: gastroenteritis virus type A. (05 Mar 2000) |
| gastroenteritis virus type B | <virology> Genus of the Reoviridae having a double layered capsid and 11 double stranded RNA molecules in the genome. They have a wheel like appearance in the electron microscope and cause acute diarrhoeal disease in their mammalian and avian hosts. Probably the most important cause of severe dehydrating diarrhoea in children under three years of age worldwide. Symptoms include nausea, vomiting, low-grade fever and diarrhoea. Aggressive fluid replacement is generally required. (27 Sep 1997) |

| C type virus | <molecular biology, virology> Originally C type particles identified in mouse tumour tissue and later shown to be oncogenic RNA viruses Oncovirinae) that bud from the plasma membrane of the host cell starting as a characteristic electron dense crescent. Include feline leukaemia virus, murine leukaemia and sarcoma viruses. (18 Nov 1997) |
| acne simplex | <dermatology> A form of acne which results from the bacterial infection of cysts deep within the skin. Generally requires treatment with antibiotics and other agents (Isotretinoin). Without treatment cystic acne may result in scarring. (27 Sep 1997) |
| adiposis tuberosa simplex | A condition resembling adiposis dolorosa, in which the fat occurs in small, nodular masses, which are sensitive to touch and may be spontaneously painful, on the abdomen or on the extremities. (05 Mar 2000) |
| articulatio simplex | One composed of two bones only. Synonym: articulatio simplex. (05 Mar 2000) |
| carcinoma simplex | An obsolete term for any form of carcinoma in which the relative proportions of stroma and neoplastic epithelial cells are not unusual, i.e., stromal elements are not comparatively abundant, nor are they reduced in amount or lacking; an obsolete term for a carcinoma lacking any identifiable microscopic pattern, such as glandular structure. (05 Mar 2000) |
| verruca simplex | A keratotic papilloma of the epidermis which occurs most frequently in young persons as a result of localised infection by human papilloma virus, usually types 2 and 4; the lesions are of variable duration, eventually undergoing spontaneous regression, and are both exophytic and endophytic, with hyperkeratosis, parakeratosis, hypergranulosis, koilocytosis, and papillomatosis. Synonym: common wart, infectious warts, verruca simplex, viral wart. (05 Mar 2000) |
