| 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) |
| 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) |
| 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) |
| telangiectasia, hereditary haemorrhagic | An autosomal dominant vascular anomaly characterised by the presence of multiple small telangiectases of the skin, mucous membranes, gastrointestinal tract, and other organs, associated with recurrent episodes of bleeding from affected sites and gross or occult melena. (12 Dec 1998) |

| epizootic haemorrhagic disease of deer | A haemorrhagic disease of certain deer of the central and eastern United States, caused by an orbivirus, a member of the Reoviridae, and characterised by multiple haemorrhages, shock, and trauma; infection is thought to be arthropod-borne. Synonym: haemorrhagic disease of deer. (05 Mar 2000) |

| leukoencephalitis, acute haemorrhagic | A rare, fatal postinfection or allergic demyelinating disease of the central nervous system having a fulminating course and occurring mainly in young adults. It is characterised by destruction of white matter to the point of liquefaction; widespread necrosis of blood vessel walls leading to the formation of multiple small haemorrhages in the involved areas and the exudation of fibrin into the surrounding tissue; and cellular infiltration of the necrotic areas. (12 Dec 1998) |
| absorption fever | An elevation of temperature often occurring, without other untoward symptoms, shortly after childbirth, assumed to be due to absorption of uterine discharges through abrasions of the vaginal wall. (05 Mar 2000) |
