| Medical Conditions/Illnesses/Viruses |
| Altairian Encephalitis |
| A retro-virus that incorporates its DNA directly into the cells of its host, lying dormant for many years before becoming active and subjecting the host to a coma and delirium for days. This inactivity erases through synapse degradation all memory back to the point of infection. Apparently Klingons are immune to this infection. |
|
Amnesia |
| Loss of memory, whether permanent or temporary. see also Hysterical amnesia; Lacunar amnesia |
|
Anchilles Fever |
| A devastating, highly contagious disease. The vaccine is very rare. In fact, it is found only on planet Ligon II. |
|
Andronesian Encephalitis |
| An airborn, mildly contagious virulent disease that is easily treated. |
|
Aphasia |
| Nominally a perceptual dysfunction in which aural and visual stimuli, as well as other communication and comprehension functions, are incorrectly processed by the brain. Typically aphasia is associated with cranial trauma, such as a stroke or severe blow to the head, but there are some spontaneous afflictions on record. |
|
Barclay's Photomorphosis Syndrome |
| Causes those contracting the disease to regress to an earlier form of their species development. Cured only by creating a vaccine from an amniotic fluid base. |
|
Bendii's Syndrome |
| A rare, usually fatal disease that afflicts Vulcans over the age of 200,
debilitating their emotional control; there is no known treatment. Early
symptoms include sudden bursts of emotion, especially irrational anger,
but the only way to prove a diagnosis is to grow a culture from tissue of
the metathalamus -- a process which takes several days. The telepathic abilities
of Vulcans are strong enough to cause the loss of control to be projected
onto others. |
|
Blight |
| Disease unleashed on the Teplan civilization by the conquering Jem'Hadar.
Sufferers showed blue welts and lesions once they contracted the disease,
but they began to die once the welts turn red in a phase known as "the
quickening." Cured by Dr. Julian Bashir in 2372. |

|
Enantiodromia |

|
Levodian Flu |
| A virus whose infectious cycle takes 29 hours to complete. |
|
Metremia |
| A degenerative and incurable blood disease caused by exposure to metreon
isotopes which attacks victims on the molecular level and may lie dormant
for years. Once manifested, it causes a victim's atomic structure to undergo
fission and the cells subsequently disintegrate. |
|
Morphogenic Virus |
| A virus engineered by Star Fleet Intelligence ("Section 31")
with the intent of killing the Founders. The primary symptom is a decreasing
ability to shapeshift, accompanied by pain and peeling skin; the progress
is accelerated by frequent shapeshifting and in the final stage of the disease,
the Changeling cannot revert back to liquid state and will die in solid
form. The cure for the disease contains a nucleotide marking sequence consisting
of adanine, asporadine, lytastolanine, and radanine. |
|
Neural Depletion |
| Complete loss of electrochemical energy within a humanoid brain leading to death. |
|
Neural Metaphasic Shock |
| A potentially and often fatal failure of the entire neurological system in a humanoid. |
|
Omega 10 Virus |
| An airborne virus native to Omega 10, it dehydrates the human body, reducing it to a crystalline form. The planet itself provides immunity, and enough time spent on the planet will lead to the death of the virus. |
|
Orket's Disease |
| A childhood virus that swept through Bajoran work camps during the Occupation. Thousands of Bajoran children were killed. |
|
Paranoia |
| A mental disorder characterized by an abnormal suspicion of persecution. |
|
Psi-2000 Virus |
| A complex water-carbon molecule which is transmitted by touch and affects the body like alcohol. May be caused by gravitational fluctuations. |
|
Psychotropic Addiction |
| An addiction perpetuated by an effect directly on brain cells. |
|
Rigellian Fever |
| A highly contagious disease resembling the Bubonic Plague. It can be fatal within 24 hours. The only known antidote is Rytalin. |
|
Sakuro's Disease |
| A rare disease found only only Epsilon Canaris III, it resembles leukemia. The first critical stage is a high fever. Red corpuscules die, an infection develops, respiration becomes difficult, and blood pressure drops. Eventually, delirium sets in and death follows shortly thereafter. |
|
Somatophysical Failure |
| The collapse of all bodily systems in humanoid physiology. |
|
Stockhom Syndrome |
| The mental condition that causes children to be highly devoted to abusive parents. |
|
Streptacochlial-bola-spongiform-diadinate (Zintels Disease) |
| A virus that eats away at the body by traveling along the nervous system
and blood vessels. It attacks only bodies with certain "T"cells
common to all species. The body is unable to fight off infection and normal
antidotes are ineffective. Placing the patient in stasis has little or no
discernable effects. Incubation period is between 2 -8 days then the first
symptoms appear. Symptioms include: Sneezing, Shortness of breath, Red-Blue-Green
spots, Blurring vision, Hallucinations, Increased aggression, illogical
activity, Loss of motor control, Paranoia and Delusions of Grandeur. In
later stages the patient has weeping sores that expand, this can take anything
from a few days to three weeks to occur. In the final stage the victim displays
remarkable logic and clear thoughts almost tripling their intelligence.
This stage lasts no more than forty minutes before the patient convulses
and dies. The body then disintegrates to a mushy pulp and after twenty minutes
leaves no traces |
|

The parasite can be surgically removed. |

| Causes an imbalance in the chemicals of the humanoid brain. Results in severe paranoia, hallucinations and eventual death. There is no known cure. |
|
Tsiolkovsky Infection |
| A waterborne viral infection that acts as a depressant on the body's neural system, lowering inhibitions by acquiring carbon from the body and acting on the brain as an intoxicant. |
|
Tuvan syndrome |
| A degenerative, incurable neurological disease which affects mainly Vulcans, Romulans, and Rigellians. In the very early stages, the patient's eyelids are slightly displaced, facial muscles are weakened, and respiration is irregular. Loss of motor skills occurs in 10-15 years; life expectancy is 20-25 years. In less than 5% of cases, the disease can accelerate without warning. |

|
Zanthi Fever |
| A virus which affects the empathic abilities of older Betazoids, causing them to project their own emotions onto others in close proximity during such an attack, manifested as a passing headache. The emotion only takes hold in subjects where a latent propensity in that direction was present; a simple wide-spectrum anti-viral agent is enough to cure it; the effect on others fades in a day or two. |
