| haemorrhagic rickets | Bone changes seen in infantile scurvy, consisting of subperiosteal haemorrhage and deficient osteoid tissue formation; often used to indicate simultaneous occurrence of rickets and scurvy. Synonym: acute rickets. Hereditary hypophosphatemic rickets, with hypercalciuria, an inherited disorder in which there is a defect in renal tubular reabsorption. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemorrhagic scurvy | Scurvy with extensive haemorrhages in gums, skin and other tissues, typical of severe stage of the disease. Infantile scurvy, osteopathia haemorrhagia infantum;a cachectic condition in infants, resulting from malnutrition and marked by pallor, fetid breath, coated tongue, diarrhoea, and subperiosteal haemorrhages; probably a combination of scurvy and rickets due to combined deficiency of vitamins C and D. Synonym: Barlow's disease, Cheadle's disease, osteopathia haemorrhagica infantum, scurvy rickets. Land scurvy, formerly, scurvy occurring in people who had not been to sea. (05 Mar 2000) |
| haemorrhagic septicaemia | <microbiology> Haemorrhagic septicaemia is an infectious disease of cattle and buffalo which is caused by the bacteria Pasteurella multocida. Symptoms include fever, appetite loss, and drooling. It appears as a result of stress from malnutrition, exhaustion, or lengthy transportation. (09 Oct 1997) |

| haemorrhagic smallpox | A severe and frequently fatal form of smallpox accompanied by extravasation of blood into the skin in the early stage, or into the pustules at a later stage, accompanied often by nosebleed and haemorrhage from other orifices of the body. Synonym: fulminating smallpox, variola haemorrhagica. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hereditary haemorrhagic telangiectasia | <gastroenterology> An inherited disease characterised by thin blood vessel walls in the nose, skin and gastrointestinal tract. This condition ins associated with a high risk of bleeding complications. Inheritance: autosomal dominant. (27 Sep 1997) |
| hereditary haemorrhagic thrombasthenia | <haematology> A form of congenital platelet functional defect that result in prolongation of the bleeding time. Characteristics include mucosal and post-operative bleeding that may be severe. (17 Dec 1997) |
| simian haemorrhagic fever | A highly fatal disease of macaque monkeys caused by the simian haemorrhagic fever virus and characterised by fever, facial oedema, anorexia, adipsia, skin petechiae, diarrhoea, haemorrhages, and death. (05 Mar 2000) |
| simian haemorrhagic fever virus | An arterivirus causing simian haemorrhagic fever in macaque monkeys. (05 Mar 2000) |
| superior haemorrhagic polioencephalitis | <syndrome> A condition frequently encountered in chronic alcoholics, largely due to thiamin deficiency and characterised by disturbances in ocular motility, pupillary alterations, nystagmus, and ataxia with tremors; an organic-toxic psychosis is often an associated finding, and Korsakoff's syndrome often coexists; characteristic cellular pathology found in several areas of the brain. Synonym: superior haemorrhagic polioencephalitis, Wernicke's disease, Wernicke's encephalopathy. (05 Mar 2000) |
| dengue haemorrhagic fever | <microbiology> A tropical disease caused by dengue virus (Arbovirus), that is transmitted by the bite of an infected mosquito of the genus Aedes). Four severity grades of the illness are seen: grade I (fever and constitutional symptoms), grade II (grade I plus spontaneous bleeding of skin, gums or gastrointestinal tract), grade III (grade II plus agitation and circulatory failure) and grade IV (profound shock). Grade I infection is seen most frequently in world travelers, where it is usually self-limited and rarely fatal. The other grades are referred to as dengue haemorrhagic fever and are often fatal. Dengue haemorrhagic fever appears to be an infection by one of the other dengue viruses. Prior immunity to a different dengue virus type appears to be important in the development of the more serious haemorrhagic form. Vaccines are available. Protection from mosquitoes is an important preventive measure. (27 Sep 1997) |
| infantile acute haemorrhagic oedema of the skin | A generally benign form of cutaneous vasculitis, characterised by ecchymotic purpura, often in a cockade pattern, and inflammatory oedema in infants. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Omsk haemorrhagic fever | A form of epidemic haemorrhagic fever found in central Russia, caused by the Omsk haemorrhagic fever virus, a member of the family Flaviviridae, and transmitted by Dermacentor ticks; associated with gastrointestinal symptoms and haemorrhages but little or no central nervous system involvement.
