Diseases Cured by the Valbresge Bacta Municipal
The Valbresge Bacta Municipal has treated hundreds of thousands of beings over the years with various ailments. Many beings are transported to VBM for specialized treatment of many diseases. This are only a portion of the long list of diseased treated and often cured by the personnel at VBM.
Bakuran Fever Bumps
This fever-like condition is encountered on the planet Bakura, and
results in the victim being covered with numerous small welts.
Bandonian Plague
A virulent plague.
Bitter Winter/Brekken Vinthern
1) This is the Basic name for the Brekken Vinthern disease.
2) this Old Corellian term is used to describe the Bitter Winter disease.
This disease strikes the elderly, and creates holes in their memories. It
has been compared to the melanncho of the Issori and Odenji.
Blastonecrosis
A disease, characterized by a loss of appetite and fatigue, that can be
masked by the use of lotiramine. Lotiramine hides the tracer enzymes that
mark the disease's presence in the body.
Bledsoe's Disease
This strange affliction was bioengineered by the Empire, under the
direction of Doctor Kaaldar, in the years following the Battle of Yavin.
Specific strains of the disease could be unleashed, each causing unique
reactions. In general, Bledsoe's causes the skin to burn, then begins
discoloring the victim's eyes. The discoloration resolves itself into a
starfield pattern, and the individual strains reveal individual patterns.
Each of the patterns, however, is a star-map which showed the location of
an Alliance base. Imperial forces were instructed to watch for outbreaks
of the disease, then round up the victims and read the star-maps in their
eyes. Thus, attacks could be made on Alliance bases without open
communication of the next target. Luke Skywalker contracted Bledsoe's on
Tatooine, and was taken into custody. He and Anduvil managed to escape
from Doctor Kaaldar's laboratory and warn the Alliance about the use of
Bledsoe's.
Bothan Redrash
This disease is known to afflict Bothans and some other humanoid races,
but was not always contracted by individuals in contact with it.
Brainworm Rot Type A
This disease broke out in the Manarai Heights district of Coruscant's
Galactic City, during the year leading up to the Clone Wars. It affected
Anomids and Wol Cabbashites most, although it was eventually contained.
The brainworm rot was believed to have been carried to Coruscant by a
Neimoidian, for that species was known to be resistant to the disease.
Essentially an airborne virus, Brainworm Rot Type A attacked those species
with high levels of dialogen in their bloodstream. Symptoms include nausea
and dementia, and the disease could be fatal if not treated with
clyrossa-themin.
Brownlung
This Adumari disease is more common in the working classes than the
nobility, primarily because the working classes are forced to live in
underground turumme warrens. It is similar to lung cancer.
Bunkurd Sewer Disorder
This disease is contracted when a human consumes the specialized bacterium
created to combat waste disposal problems on Coruscant. The bacterium,
engineered by Bunkurd Corporation, broke down garbage into biodegradable
by-products. However, if consumed by humans, the bacterium caused a
gastrointestinal disorder that resembled food poisoning.
