Histoplasmosis - Histoplasmosis is a disease, usually affecting the lungs, caused by inhaling the spores of a fungus.
Infectious Mononucleosis - Infectious mononucleosis is an infection caused by the Epstein-Barr virus. It has been recognized as a clinical syndrome consisting of fever, pharyngitis, and adenopathy.
Interstitial Cystitis - Interstitial cystitis is a long-term (chronic) inflammation of the bladder wall. It is characterized by a feeling or need to urinate immediately or frequently, often with pelvic pain.
Killer Cold Virus (Adenovirus Infection, Ad14) - A rare strain of a cold virus, known as adenovirus type 14 (Ad14), has caused severe and even fatal respiratory illness in healthy children and adults.
Legionnaire Disease and Pontiac Fever - Legionellosis is an infection that is caused by a bacterium. There are two types of illness which can develop after being infected with this bacterium: Legionnaires' disease and Pontiac fever
Leprosy - Leprosy, also known as Hansen's disease (HD), is a chronic disease caused by
the bacteria Mycobacterium leprae and Mycobacterium lepromatosis. The disease mainly affects the skin, the peripheral nerves, mucosa of the upper respiratory tract and also the eyes, apart from some other structures.
Listeria - Listeria is a type of bacteria that can cause food poisoning.
Mad Cow Disease - Mad cow disease is a rare illness people can get from eating infected beef. It is a fatal neurodegenerative disease in cattle that causes a spongy degeneration in the brain and spinal cord.
Meningococcemia - Meningococcemia is the presence of meningococcus in the bloodstream, caused by a bacteria called Neisseria meningitidis.
Microcephaly - Microcephaly is a rare neurological condition (Literally, the term 'microcephaly' means 'small head) in which a person's head is significantly smaller than
normal for their age and sex, based on standardized charts.
Microsporidiosis - Microspridiosis is an opportunistic intestinal infection that causes diarrhea and wasting in immunocompromised individuals (HIV, for example).
Monkeypox - Monkeypox is an exotic infectious disease caused by the monkeypox virus. Monkeypox is a viral disease that causes symptoms such as fever, sweating, and a rash with papules and pustules on the face and chest.
