Altarian Encephalitis
A retrovirus that incorporated its DNA directly into the cells of
its host.
The virus can lie dormant for years, but activate without warning. Victims
would be pyrexic and comatose and would suffer from widespread synaptic
degradation. Long-term memory, usually from the moment of the infection,
would be destroyed.
Anchilles Fever
Deadly disease capable of spreading rapidly in a planetary population
and causing widespread and painful deaths in the millions.
Andronesian Encephalitis
A disease transmitted by airborne particles.
Aphasia
Dysfunction of certain brain centers affecting the ability to
communicate in a coherent manner.
Aphasia Virus
Virus created by Bajoran scientist Dekon Elig, intended to be used as a
terrorist weapon against the Cardassians.
The disease organism would have been delivered through an aphasia device
planted in a food replicator by the Bajoran underground. Once contracted,
the virus would find its way to temporal lobes and disrupt normal
communication processes, causing a type of aphasia. As the virus spread, it
attacked the autonomic nervous system, causing a coma, then death.
Arethian Flu
Viral disease.
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 walls.
Barclay's Protomorphosis Syndrome
An intron virus that causes humanoids and other animals to develop
structural and behavioral characteristics of earlier evolutionary forms.

The disease is characterized by gradual loss of emotional control; victims
exhibit sudden bursts of emotion and irrational anger.

centuries, caused by the organism Vibrio cholerae.

An infection of the upper respiratory tract caused by any of over 200
viruses in many humanoid species.

A deadly ailment that attacks the brain and nervous system of its
victims.

Skin disorder caused by an overexposure of the epidermis to hazardous
levels of thermal and ultraviolet radiation.

A very rare and incurable disease that afflicts one out of every five
million Ferengi.
Elogium
Phase during the Ocampan Lifecycle in which the female's become fertile.
Only happens once
Forrester-Trent Syndrome
Degenerative neurological disorder. It is very rare, but if left
untreated, can result in paralysis and even death. The syndrome is usually
hereditary but can be activated by a random mutation. A neurostabilization
regimen can stabilize or reverse the disease.
Hemocythemia
Medical condition in which intercellular pressures are unstable.
Hesperan Thumping Cough
A flu-like affliction.
Holodiction
Contraction for holodeck addiction. A psychological condition where an
individual becomes so caught up in holographic simulations that the real
world becomes unimportant.
HTDS
Holotransference Dementia Syndrome.Medical condition in which a person
becomes so disoriented within a holographic simulation that they lose their
sense of identity and start to think that they are part of the program.
Hyper-REM
Abnormal neurological condition during sleep.
Hyperacceleration
Biochemical condition that plagued the people of planet Scalos due to
radiation poisoning of their water supply. Hyperacceleration of biological
processes caused an individual so affected to experience one second as if it
were an entire hour. Outsiders who were accelerated, quickly burned out,
dying in a very short period to time due to cell damage.
Iresine Syndrome
A very rare neurological disorder in humanoids characterized by a
peculiar electropathic signature in the thalamus, and a severely decreased
histamine count. Victims of the disorder, first identified in the 23rd
century, would fall suddenly into a coma for approximately 72 hours.
Diagnosis could be confused by the presence of any of 22 different
substances that left electropathic residue resembling that of this disorder.
Irumodic Syndrome
Degenerative disorder that causes progressive deterioration of the
synaptic pathways. The disease can cause senility and eventually death.
Treatment of choice for the disorder was peridaxon, though this was simply
palliative; no cure existed.
Iverson's Disease
A chronic disease that causes fatal degeneration of muscular functions
in humans. Iverson's disease does not however, impair mental functions.
Lacunar Amnesia
Type of amnesia that occurs when a patient witnesses an act of
violence so terrible that the patient rejects the reality of the situation.
Neural Depletion
Complete loss of electrochemical energy of a humanoid brain,
resulting in the death of the victim.
Neural Metaphasic Shock
A potentially fatal failure of the neurological system in humanoids.
Phage, The
Disease that affects the Vidiian's. The Phage attacks their genetic

strain of plasma plague threatened the densely populated Rachelis system in
2365.
Psi 2000 Virus
A water based disease organism originally found on the planet Psi 2000
in 2266. This virus infected members of the Federation science team
stationed on that planet, causing suppression of their inhibitions, and
ultimately their deaths.

A disease that sometimes affects Klingon children, somewhat akin to
terrestrial measles.
Sakuro's Disease
An extremely rare disease contracted by Commissioner Nancy Hedford
which can cause intense fever, weakness, and death if not treated.
