| tropical splenomegaly | A chronic disease, occurring in India, Assam, China, the area formerly known as the Mediterranean littoral areas, the Middle East, India, Pakistan, China, South and Central America, Asia, Africa caused by Leishmania donovani and transmitted by the bite of an appropriate species of sandfly of the genus Phlebotomus or Lutzomyia; the organisms grow and multiply in macrophages, eventually causing them to burst and liberate amastigote parasites which then invade other macrophages; proliferation of macrophages in the bone marrow causes crowding out of erythroid and myeloid elements, resulting in leukopenia, and anaemia, splenomegaly, and hepatomegaly which are characteristic, along with enlargement of lymph nodes; fever, fatigue, malaise, and secondary infections also occur; different strains of leishmaniasis donovani occur; leishmaniasis infantum in Eurasia, leishmaniasis chagasi in Latin America. Synonym: Assam fever, black sickness, Burdwan fever, cachectic fever, Dumdum fever, kala azar, tropical splenomegaly. (05 Mar 2000) |

| tropical splenomegaly syndrome | A syndrome characterised by persistent splenomegaly, exceptionally high serum IgM and malaria antibody levels, and hepatic sinusoidal lymphocytosis; believed to be a disturbance in the T-lymphocyte control of the humoral response to recurrent malaria. Synonym: tropical splenomegaly syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| massive splenomegaly | <radiology> Malaria, CML, myelofibrosis and myeloid metaplasia, Kala azar, schistosomiasis, storage diseases: Gaucher, Niemann-Pick, thalassaemia major (Cooley's anaemia), some spleen cysts (12 Dec 1998) |

| haemolytic splenomegaly | Splenomegaly associated with congenital haemolytic jaundice. (05 Mar 2000) |
| hyperreactive malarious splenomegaly | A syndrome characterised by persistent splenomegaly, exceptionally high serum IgM and malaria antibody levels, and hepatic sinusoidal lymphocytosis; believed to be a disturbance in the T-lymphocyte control of the humoral response to recurrent malaria. Synonym: tropical splenomegaly syndrome. (05 Mar 2000) |
| splenomegaly | <clinical sign> Enlargement of the spleen. Origin: Gr. Megas = large (18 Nov 1997) |

| paraparesis, tropical spastic | Subacute paralytic myeloneuropathy occurring endemically in tropical areas such as the caribbean, colombia, india, and africa, as well as in the southwestern region of japan; associated with infection by type I human lymphotropic retrovirus (HTLV-I). Toxic nutritional factors have largely been ruled out as the cause of this syndrome, the primary clinical feature of which is progressive weakness of the legs and lower body. (12 Dec 1998) |
| sprue, tropical | A malabsorption syndrome occurring in the tropics and subtropics. Protein malnutrition is usually precipitated by the malabsorption, and anaemia due to folic acid deficiency is particularly common. Administration of antibiotics (especially tetracycline) and folic acid usually results in remission. (12 Dec 1998) |
