| encephalitis, tick-borne | A disease caused by tick-borne encephalitis virus, a species of flavivirus, and a member of the subgroup encephalitis viruses, tick-borne. Tick-borne encephalitis appears to be a spectrum of disease caused by two related viruses: the european subtype - central european encephalitis virus and the eastern subtype - russian spring-summer encephalitis virus. (12 Dec 1998) |
| encephalitis viruses, tick-borne | A subgroup of the genus flavivirus that causes encephalitis and haemorrhagic fevers and is found in eastern and western europe and the former soviet union. It is transmitted by tick vectors and there is an associated milk-borne transmission from viraemic cattle, goats, and sheep. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, african tick | One of the tick-borne rickettsial diseases of the eastern hemisphere, similar to rocky mountain spotted fever, but less severe, with fever, a small ulcer (tache noire) at the site of the tick bite, swollen glands nearby (satellite lymphadenopathy), and a red raised (maculopapular) rash.

| typhus, queensland tick | One of the tick-borne rickettsial diseases of the eastern hemisphere, similar to rocky mountain spotted fever, but less severe, with fever, a small ulcer (eschar) at the site of the tick bite, swollen glands nearby (satellite lymphadenopathy), and a red raised (maculopapular) rash. (12 Dec 1998) |
| typhus, tick | Rocky Mountain spotted fever (RMSF), an acute febrile (feverish) disease initially recognised in the rocky mountain states, caused by rickettsia rickettsii transmitted by hard-shelled (ixodid) ticks. Occurs only in the western hemisphere. Anyone frequenting tick-infested areas is at risk for rmsf. Onset of symptoms is abrupt with headache, high fever, chills, muscle pain. And then a rash.the rickettsiae grow within damaged cells lining blood vessels which may become blocked by clots. Blood vessel inflammation (vasculitis) is widespread early recognition of rmsf and prompt antibiotic treatment is important in reducing mortality. Also called spotted fever and tick fever.

| acute ascending paralysis | A paralysis of rapid course beginning in the legs and involving progressively the trunk, arms, and neck, ending sometimes in death in from one to three weeks. Synonym: ascending paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| acute atrophic paralysis | Inflammation of the anterior cornua of the spinal cord; an acute infectious disease caused by the poliomyelitis virus and marked by fever, pains, and gastroenteric disturbances, followed by a flaccid paralysis of one or more muscular groups, and later by atrophy. Synonym: acute atrophic paralysis, myogenic paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ascending paralysis | A paralysis of rapid course beginning in the legs and involving progressively the trunk, arms, and neck, ending sometimes in death in from one to three weeks. Synonym: ascending paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Brown-Sequard's paralysis | <neurology, syndrome> A type of spinal cord lesion that is characterised by hemiparaplegia and hyperesthesia, but with loss of motor function on the same side as the lesion and hemianaesthesia on the opposite side. (27 Sep 1997) |
| bulbar paralysis | Progressive weakness and atrophy of the muscles of the tongue, lips, palate, pharynx, and larynx, usually occurring in later life; most often caused by motor neuron disease. Synonym: bulbar palsy, bulbar paralysis, Duchenne's disease, Erb disease, glossolabiolaryngeal paralysis, glossolabiopharyngeal paralysis. (05 Mar 2000) |
