| brugia malayi | A species of parasitic nematode causing malayan filariasis and having a distribution centreing roughly on the malay peninsula. The life cycle of b. Malayi is similar to that of wuchereria bancrofti, except that in most areas the principal mosquito vectors belong to the genus mansonia. (12 Dec 1998) |

| Wuchereria malayi | Former name for Brugia malayi. (05 Mar 2000) |
| brugia | A filarial worm of southeast asia, producing filariasis and elephantiasis in various mammals including man. It was formerly included in the genus wuchereria. (12 Dec 1998) |
| brugia pahangi | A species of parasitic nematode found in man and other mammals. It has been reported from malaya and east pakistan and may produce symptoms of tropical eosinophilia. (12 Dec 1998) |
| bancroftian filariasis | Filariasis caused by Wuchereria bancrofti. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Brug's filariasis | Infection with filarial organism Brugia malayi, which causes adenitis, fever, lymphangitis, and sometimes elephantiasis; occurs primarily in southeast Asia, India, Indonesia, China, Japan, Korea, and the Philippines. (05 Mar 2000) |
| periodic filariasis | A form of filariasis in which microfilariae appear in the peripheral blood at regular 24-hr intervals; usually refers to the nocturnal periodicity of bancroftian filariasis. (05 Mar 2000) |
| due date | The estimated calendar date when a baby will be born, the date the baby is due to be born. It is also called the estimated date of confinement (EDC). (12 Dec 1998) |
| dystonia, focal, due to blepharospasm | The second most common focal dystonia, the involuntary, forcible closure of the eyelids. The first symptoms may be uncontrollable blinking. Only one eye may be affected initially, but eventually both eyes are usually involved. The spasms may leave the eyelids completely closed causing functional blindness even though the eyes and vision are normal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| dystonia, focal, due to torticollis | Spasmodic torticollis, or torticollis, is the most common of the focal dystonias. In torticollis, the muscles in the neck that control the position of the head are affected, causing the head to twist and turn to one side. In addition, the head may be pulled forward or backward. (12 Dec 1998) |
| thrombotic disease due to protein c deficiency | Protein C is a protein in plasma that enters into the cascade of biochemical events leading to the formation of a clot. Deficiency of protein c results in thrombotic (clotting) disease and excess platelets with recurrent thrombophlebitis (inflammation of the vein that occurs when a clot forms). The clot can break loose and travel through the blood stream (thromboembolism) to the lungs causing a pulmonary embolism, brain causing a stroke (cerebrovascular accident), heart causing an early heart attack, skin causing what in the newborn is called neonatal purpura fulminans, the adrenal gland causing haemorrhage with abdominal pain, abnormally low blood pressure (hypotension), and salt loss. Protein c deficiency is due to possession of one gene (heterozygosity) in chromosome band 2q13-14. The possession of two such genes (homozygosity) is usually lethal. (12 Dec 1998) |
| filariasis | <dermatology, infectious disease, zoology> A disease caused by the parasitic nematode worm Wuchereria bancrofti or Brugia malayi. The parasite blocks the lymphatic system and causes lymphatic oedema, resulting in the swelling and thickening of skin tissues and the tissues immediately below the skin. The disease most commonly occurs in tropical regions and is spread by bloodsucking insects (which carry the larval worms). (09 Oct 1997) |
