Diseases

NAME	DESCRIPTION
Anchilles Fever	A deadly disease, capable of spreading rapidly in a planetary population. Causing widespread and painful deaths in the millions.
Andronesian Encephalitis	A disease transmitted by airborne particles. It is curable.
Arethian Flu	Viral disease. Curable
Atherosclerosis	A pathological condition in some humanoid species, characterized by the hardening of the arteries and accompanied by the deposit of fat in the inner arterial wall. If untreated, the condition will require a transplant of the artery.
Ba'ltmasor Syndrome	Disease suffered by Klingons, requiring regular treatments, given by injection. Non curable
Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome	An intron virus that causes humanoids and other animals to develop structural and behavioral characteristics of earlier evolutionary forms. It was accidentally developed in 2370, when a routine synthetic T-Cell treatment became mutated. The virus exhibited airborne transmission, and worked by invading the hosts DNA and activating introns. Discovered by Dr. Beverly Crusher, of the USS Enterprise-D, and named for Reginald Barclay, the first patient known to have contracted the virus.
Bendii Syndrome	This is a rare illness that only affects Vulcans over the age of 200. The disease is characterized by gradual loss of emotional control. Victims exhibit sudden bursts of emotions and irrational anger. Diagnosis is made by culturing tissue form the patient's metathalamus. A dangerous side effect of Bendii Syndrome is that the loss of emotional control can be telepathically projected to others.
Common Cold	An infection of the upper respiratory tract cause by any of over 200 viruses in many humanoid species. By the 24th century, the common cold was a curable ailment.
Dermal Dysplasia	Medical skin disorder caused by the over exposure of the epidermis to hazardous levels of thermal and ultraviolet radiation.
Dorek Syndrome	A very rare and incurable disease that afflicts one in five million Ferengi.
Hemocythemia	Medical condition where inter cellular pressures are unstable. This condition is also called Hemocythemiic Imbalance, and is treatable by Osmothic Pressure Therapy.
Hesperan Thumping Cough	Flu like affliction.
HTDS	Holotransference Dementia Syndrome. Medical condition where a person becomes so disorientated in a holographic simulation that they lose their sense of identity and start to think that they are part of the program.
Irumodic Syndrome	Degenerative disorder that causes progressive deterioration of the synaptic pathways. The disease can cause senility and eventually death. Treatment of choice was Peridaxon, though this was simply palliative. No cure exists.
Iverson's Disease	A chronic disease that causes fatal degeneration of muscular functions in humans. Iverson's Disease does not, however, affect mental functions. There is no know cure for the disease.
Kalla-Nohra Syndrome	Chronic pulmanormy disease. Kalla-Nohra Syndrome is only found in individuals exposed to a mining accident at Gallitep, a labor camp run by the Cardassians during the ocupation. There are no known instances of anyone not involved with that mining accident contracting the disease, so a positive diagnosis makes it virtually certain that the individual has been at that infamous death camp.
Levodian Flu	A Viral disease. The Lethodian Flu normally lasts 29 hours. Symptoms include sneezing and a runny nose.
Memory Virus	A parasitic organism that thrives on the peptides generated by the host's brain. The virus, discovered in 2373 by Voyager scientists, is able to avoid the body's immune system by disguising itself as an engram. The parasite creates a false memory for its host so traumatic that the host's mind represses it. The memory virus lives in person after person, hiding in the part of the brain the unconscious mind would want to avoid at all costs. When it senses death, it leaves its host to find another. Thoron radiation is lethal to the memory Virus
Mendakan Pox	Humanoid disease characterized by the mottling of the skin.
Neurochemical Imbalance	A serious physiological condition in Vulcans from the effects of the Pon Farr mating drive. Contact from a Vulcan telepathic mating bond can induce the effects on other species, in some cases proving to be fatal.
Orkett's Disease	Viral sickness. Orkett's disease swept through Bajoran work camps during the Cardassian occupation of Bajor, killing thousands of children.
Phyrox Plague	The population of the planet Cor Caroli V suffered an outbreak of Pharox Plague. The epidemic was contained with the assistance of the Enterprise-D personnel. Starfleet Command classified the incident as 'secret'.
Pottrik Syndrome	A disease that effect Cardasians, similar to the Kalla-Nohra Syndrome. So alike are the two, that they are treated by the same medicine. A lower pulmonary bio-probe for Pottrik syndrome will show up negative, where for Kalla-Nohra it will show up positive.
Psi 2000 Virus	A water based disease organism originally found on the planet Psi 2000. It causes suppression of inhibitions within the victims and ultimately their deaths.. it is transmitted through human perspiration. In 2364, a varient of the disease affected the crews of the Tsiolkovsky , where it killed the crew, and of the Enterprise-D, where Dr. Beverly Crusher found a cure.

Teplan Blight	Viral disease endemic to the humanoid population of a planet in the Teplan system, located in the Gamma quadrant. The disease was introduced by the Jem'Hadar, in 2171 for retribution to the planet's having resisted Dominion control.

The condition affects the body's motor functions, as well as the autonomic systems and higher brain functions. Victims are found to suffer from paranoid delusions, multi-infarct dementia, tactile and visual hallucinations, and psychogenic hysteria. Peripheral symptoms include sleeplessness, accelerated heart rate, myopia, muscular spasms, and dehydration. The problem was eliminated by the introduction of the 'multiplex buffer'.
Transporter Shock	A rare phenomenon wherein a person experiences dizziness, headaches, and disorientation after being transported. The effects wear off quickly and this condition is usually the result of a transporter malfuntion.
Zanthi Fever	Viral condition that affects the empathic abilities of mature Betazoids. A patient suffering from Zanthi fever can involuntary project emotions onto others
