                        A83.2   Eastern Equine Encephalitis Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) , is a rare disease that causes inflammation of the brain (encephalitis). It is caused by an arbovirus, which means it is spread through the bite of infected mosquitoes. It was first seen in horses (equine) in the 1830s and first diagnosed in a human along the east coast in the 1930s. The virus can only be spread to humans through a mosquito bite. It cannot be spread from human to human or from horse or other animal to a human. Eastern equine encephalitis (EEE) is one of the most severe arboviral encephalitis affecting America. Currently considered an emerging disease showing consistently increase incidence across a wider population. In the United States, between six to eight cases are annually reported, predominantly between May through October, mostly in Florida, Georgia, Maryland, Wisconsin, and New Jersey. This virus has also ...

Most are caused by bacteria, although other sorts of germs can be responsible. Though rare, they are much more likely to develop in people with diabetes. A liver abscess is defined as a  pus-filled mass in the liver  that can develop from injury to the liver or from an intra-abdominal infection disseminated from the portal vein. The majority of these abscesses are categorized as  pyogenic or amoebic,  although a minority are caused by parasites ...

                                                                      E74.03            Cori Disease (Debrancher enzyme deficiency) Glycogen Storage Disease  type 3 is an inherited condition caused by a defect in a gene that controls the breakdown of a complex sugar called glycogen in the body's cells. Because the glycogen can not break down the accumulated glycogen is structurally abnormal and impairs the function of certain organs and tissues, especially the liver and muscles. It is also called   Cori Disease, Forbe's Disease or Debrancher Enzyme Deficiency.  The disorder is caused by a defect  in the debrancher enzyme gene , which interferes with the breakdown of glycogen (stored sugar) in the muscles and liver. For more, see Causes/Inheritance. Treatment typical...

                                               G93.7                                    Reye's syndrome Reye's (Reye) syndrome  is a rare but serious condition that causes swelling in the liver and brain. Reye's syndrome most often affects children and teenagers recovering from a viral infection, most commonly the flu or chickenpox. Signs and symptoms such as confusion, seizures and loss of consciousness require emergency treatment. Early diagnosis and treatment of Reye's syndrome can save a child's life. Aspirin has been linked with Reye's syndrome, so use caution when giving aspirin to children or teenagers for fever or pain. Though aspirin is approved for use in children older than age 3, children and teenagers recovering from chickenpox or flu-like symptoms should never t...

                                                N70.01                                     Acute salpingitis  Pelvic pain is the main symptom of acute salpingitis. An infection in the vagina or cervix often causes salpingitis. If this infection travels up into your uterus (womb), it can reach your fallopian tubes. You may get the infection, such as chlamydia or gonorrhea, by having sex with someone who is infected. A surgery or a procedure, such as childbirth or insertion of an IUD, can also cause acute salpingitis. But this is rare. Salpingitis most commonly happens to women who are young and sexually active. But, it can happen in women of any age.  Salpingitis is also called pelvic inflammatory disease (PID). PID means that there...
