* Salmonella Enteritidis (SE) is one of the most prevalent infectious bacteria
and the leading cause of Salmonellosis in the world. Salmonella Enteriditis
bacteria may be found in the intestinal tracts of livestock, poultry, dogs, cats
and other warm-blooded animals. This strain is only one of about 2,000 kinds of
Salmonella bacteria; it is often associated with poultry and shell eggs.
Salmonella enteriditis bacteria causes food poisoning and gastroenteritis.
Symptoms of Salmonella include fever, abdominal cramps, and diarrhea. Symptoms
usually only last for a day or two, however, serious complications can result
from salmonella.
* Salmonella infections are caused by Salmonella bacteria. Most people infected
with Salmonella develop diarrhea, fever, vomiting, and abdominal cramps 12 to 72
hours after infection. In most cases, the illness lasts four to seven days, and
most people recover without treatment. In some cases, the diarrhea may be so
severe that the patient becomes dangerously dehydrated and must be hospitalized.
Intravenous fluids may be used to treat dehydration. Medications may be used to
provide symptomatic relief, such as fever reduction. In severe cases, the
Salmonella infection may spread from the intestines to the blood stream, and
then to other body sites; this is known as typhoid fever and is treated with
antibiotics. The elderly, infants, and those with impaired immune systems are
more likely to develop severe illness. Some people afflicted with salmonellosis
later experience reactive arthritis, which can have long-lasting, disabling
effects.
* Salpingitis is an infection and inflammation in the fallopian tubes. It is
often used synonymously with pelvic inflammatory disease (PID), although PID
lacks an accurate definition and can refer to several diseases of the female
upper genital tract, such as endometritis, oophoritis, myometritis, parametritis
and infection in the pelvic peritoneum. In contrast, salpingitis only refers to
infection and inflammation in the fallopian tubes. The infection usually has its
origin in the vagina, and ascends to the fallopian tube from there. Because the
infection can spread via the lymph vessels, infection in one fallopian tube
usually leads to infection of the other. The symptoms usually appear after a
menstrual period. The most common are: Abnormal smell and colour of vaginal
discharge. Pain during ovulation, Pain during sexual intercourse. Pain coming
and going during periods. Abdominal pain. Lower back pain. Fever. Nausea.
Vomiting. Bloating.
* Samter's syndrome (or Samter's triad) is a condition that consists of the
following three symptoms: asthma, nasal polyps (small growths), and a reaction
against aspirin. Usually, the first symptom is rhinitis (nasal inflammation),
with sneezing, a runny nose, congestion, and often a reduced sense of smell.
This is usually followed by the development of asthma, and then the growth of
polyps inside the nose. Polyps can cause sinusitis, post-nasal drip and
obstruction of the airways. Finally, aspirin sensitivity develops. This can be
quite serious, prompting asthma attacks and anaphylaxis (acute allergic reaction
throughout the body), sometimes with hives and swelling of body-parts such as
lips, tongue and neck. In some cases this swelling can be so severe that there
is a risk of fatal suffocation. Patients often also react to other aspirin-type
anti-inflammatory drugs, although acetaminophen or paracetamol is considered
safe. The condition may be accompanied by an increase in certain white blood
cells. Samter's syndrome may be acquired at any time of life, although it often
affects people in their twenties and thirties.
* Sarcoidosis, abnormal collections of chronic inflammatory cells (granulomas)
form as nodules in multiple organs.
* Sarcoma osteogenic (osteosarcoma) is a cancer that starts in the bone. It
often starts in the ends of the bones where new bone tissue forms as a young
person grows. Bones in the thigh, upper arm, and shin are the most common sites,
but osteosarcoma can occur anywhere in the body. It usually develops during the
period of rapid growth during adolescence, as a teenager matures into an adult.
Osteosarcoma is the most common malignant bone tumor in youth. The average age
at diagnosis is 15 years. Boys and girls have a similar incidence of this tumor
until late adolescence, at which time boys are more commonly affected. The cause
of osteosarcoma is unknown. Only rarely does osteosarcoma run in families. A
defective tumor suppressor gene, allowing tumors to grow, has been linked to
increased risk of this disease and is also associated with familial
retinoblastoma, a childhood cancer of the eye. Children with familial
retinoblastoma have a high risk for osteosarcoma in adolescence. Pain in the
affected bone is the most common symptom. This pain may initially come and go
and then gradually become more severe and constant. As the tumor grows, there
may be visible swelling and limitation of motion. Tumors in the legs cause
limping, while those in the arms cause pain on lifting. Swelling over the tumor
may be warm and slightly reddened. Sometimes, the first sign may be a bone
fracture. The tumor may cause weakness in the affected area of the bone. A
fracture at the site of the tumor is called a “pathological fracture,” which
occurs after what often seems like a routine movement.
* Scabies is a contagious skin infestation by the mite Sarcoptes scabiei. The
most common symptoms are severe itchiness and a pimple-like rash. Occasionally
tiny burrows may be seen in the skin. When first infected, usually two to six
weeks are required before symptoms occur. If a person develops a second
infection later in life, symptoms may begin within a day. These symptoms can be
present across most of the body or just certain areas such as the wrists,
between fingers, or along the waistline. The head may be affected, but this is
typically only in young children. The itch is often worse at night. Scratching
may cause skin breakdown and an additional bacterial infection of the skin.
Crusted scabies is a more severe form of the disease. It typically only occurs
in those with a poor immune system and people may have millions of mites, making
them much more contagious. In these cases spread of infection may occur during
brief contact or via contaminated objects.
* Schistosomiasis, also known as bilharzia or “snail fever”, is a parasitic
disease carried by fresh water snails infected with one of the five varieties of
the parasite Schistosoma. Found predominantly in tropical and sub-tropical
climates, schistosomiasis infects 240 million people in as many as 78 countries,
with a vast majority of the burden occuring in Africa. Schistosomiasis ranks
second only to malaria as the most common parasitic disease. Schistosomiasis is
transmitted by contact with contaminated fresh water (lakes and ponds, rivers,
dams) inhabited by snails carrying the parasite. Swimming, bathing, fishing and
even domestic chores such as laundry and herding livestock can put people at
risk of contracting the disease. Larvae emerge from the snails and swim in the
water until they come into contact with an individual and penetrate the skin.
Symptoms of schistosomiasis are caused not by the worms themselves but by the
body’s reaction to the eggs. Eggs shed by the adult worms that do not pass out
of the body can become lodged in the intestine or bladder, causing inflammation
or scarring. Children who are repeatedly infected can develop anemia,
malnutrition, and learning difficulties. After years of infection, the parasite
can also damage the liver, intestine, spleen, lungs, and bladder. Most people
have no symptoms when they are first infected. However, within days after
becoming infected, they may develop a rash or itchy skin. Within 1-2 months of
infection, symptoms may develop including fever, chills, cough, and muscle
aches. Without treatment, schistosomiasis can persist for years. Signs and
symptoms of chronic schistosomiasis include: abdominal pain, enlarged liver,
blood in the stool or blood in the urine, and problems passing urine. Chronic
infection can also lead to increased risk of bladder cancer.
* Schizencephaly is a rare birth defect. It causes slits or clefts in the
cerebral hemispheres of the brain. These clefts may appear on one or both sides
of the brain. They may be filled with cerebrospinal fluid. The symptoms of
schizencephaly can vary depending on whether it presents clefts on both sides of
the brain, which are bilateral, or only one side, which are unilateral.
Unilateral clefts almost always produce paralysis on one side of the body. Most
people with unilateral clefts have normal to near normal intelligence. Bilateral
clefts tend to cause more serious symptoms than unilateral clefts. They often
cause developmental delays, including delays in learning speech and language
skills. They can also cause problems with movement due to poor communication
between brain and spinal cord. Other symptoms of schizencephaly can include:
poor muscle tone, partial or complete paralysis, a smaller than normal head,
accumulation of excess fluid in the brain, recurring seizures.
* Scleritis is a serious inflammatory disease that affects the white outer
coating of the eye, known as the sclera. The disease is often contracted through
association with other diseases of the body, such as granulomatosis with
polyangiitis or rheumatoid arthritis. There are three types of scleritis:
diffuse scleritis (the most common), nodular scleritis, and necrotizing
scleritis (the most severe). Scleritis may be the first symptom of onset of
connective tissue disease. Symptoms of scleritis include redness of the sclera
and conjunctiva, sometimes changing to a purple hue, severe ocular pain, which
may radiate to the temple or jaw. The pain is often described as deep or boring.
Photophobia and tearing. Decrease in visual acuity, possibly leading to
blindness.
* Scleroma nasal, chronic inflammation of tissues in the mucous membrane of the
nose and upper respiratory tracts.
* Sclerosis hereditary spinal or Friedreich's ataxia is an autosomal recessive
inherited disease that causes progressive damage to the nervous system. It
manifests in initial symptoms of poor coordination such as gait disturbance; it
can also lead to scoliosis, heart disease and diabetes, but does not affect
cognitive function. The disease is progressive, and ultimately a wheelchair is
required for mobility. Its incidence in the general population is roughly 1 in
50,000. The particular genetic mutation (expansion of an intronic GAA triplet
repeat in the FXN gene) leads to reduced expression of the mitochondrial protein
frataxin. Over time this deficiency causes the aforementioned damage, as well as
frequent fatigue due to effects on cellular metabolism. The ataxia of
Friedreich's ataxia results from the degeneration of nervous tissue in the
spinal cord, in particular sensory neurons essential (through connections with
the cerebellum) for directing muscle movement of the arms and legs. The spinal
cord becomes thinner and nerve cells lose some of their myelin sheath (the
insulating covering on some nerve cells that helps conduct nerve impulses).
* Scoliosis, causes a sideways curve of your backbone, or spine.
* Scotoma is an area of partial alteration in the field of vision consisting of
a partially diminished or entirely degenerated visual acuity that is surrounded
by a field of normal – or relatively well-preserved – vision. Every normal
mammal eye has a scotoma in its field of vision, usually termed its blind spot.
This is a location with no photoreceptor cells, where the retinal ganglion cell
axons that compose the optic nerve exit the retina. This location is called the
optic disc. There is no direct conscious awareness of visual scotomas. They are
simply regions of reduced information within the visual field. Rather than
recognizing an incomplete image, patients with scotomas report that things
"disappear" on them. A scotoma can be a symptom of damage to any part of the
visual system, such as retinal damage from exposure to high-powered lasers,
macular degeneration and brain damage. Symptom-producing, or pathological,
scotomata may be due to a wide range of disease processes, affecting any part of
the visual system, including the retina (in particular its most sensitive
portion, the macula) and the optic nerve. A pathological scotoma may involve any
part of the visual field and may be of any shape or size. A scotoma may include
and enlarge the normal blind spot. Even a small scotoma that happens to affect
central or macular vision will produce a severe visual disability, whereas a
large scotoma in the more peripheral part of a visual field may go unnoticed by
the bearer because of the normal reduced optical resolution in the peripheral
visual field.
* Scrub typhus, also known as bush typhus, is a disease caused by a bacteria
called Orientia tsutsugamushi. Scrub typhus is spread to people through bites of
infected chiggers (larval mites). The most common symptoms of scrub typhus
include fever, headache, body aches, and sometimes rash. Most cases of scrub
typhus occur in rural areas of Southeast Asia, Indonesia, China, Japan, India,
and northern Australia. Anyone living in or traveling to areas where scrub
typhus is found could get infected. Symptoms of scrub typhus usually begin
within 10 days of being bitten. Signs and symptoms may include: Scrub typhus
eschar. Fever and chills. Headache. Body aches and muscle pain. A dark,
scab-like region at the site of the chigger bite (also known as eschar). Mental
changes, ranging from confusion to coma. Enlarged lymph nodes. Rash. People with
severe illness may develop organ failure and bleeding, which can be fatal if
left untreated.
* Sepsis, blood poisoning, septicemia, is a systemic inflammatory response
syndrome caused by an infection.
* Septic shock, a condition that results of severe infection and sepsis.
* Serotonin syndrome is a predictable consequence of excess serotonin on the CNS
and/or peripheral nervous system. Hyperserotonemia may occur following
therapeutic drug use, combination, overdose of particular drugs, or the
recreational use of certain drugs. Excessive levels of serotonin produce a
spectrum of specific symptoms including cognitive, autonomic, and somatic
effects.
* Sexual disorders refers to problems that prevent from wanting or enjoying
sexual activity.
* Sezary's syndrome is a rare special variant of cutaneous T cell lymphoma
(CTCL) (mycosis fungoides) characterized by universal erythroderma, peripheral
lymphadenopathy, and cellular infiltrates of atypical lymphocytes (Sezary cells)
in the skin and in the blood. The disease may arise de novo or, less commonly,
result from extension of a preexisting circumscribed CTCL. It usually occurs in
patients older than 60 years and more commonly in males than in females.
Patients appear sick, shivering, and scared and there is generalized scaling
erythroderma with considerable thickening of the skin. Because of the bright red
color, the syndrome has been called the "red man syndrome". There is diffuse
hyperkeratosis of palms and soles, diffuse hair loss which can lead to baldness,
and generalized lymphadenopathy. The disease usually shows cutaneous patches,
plaques, tumors or generalized erythroderma (Mycosis fungoides). Pruritus is a
common symptom. Extracutaneous manifestations are more frequent in the presence
of locally advanced disease (cutaneous tumors). The presence of erythroderma
with circulating malignant cells (Sezary's cells) in the peripheral blood (PB)
and in the bone marrow is consistent with Sezary's syndrome, which is usually
associated with lymphadenopathy.
* Shock, lack of adecuate blood flow to organs and tissues.
* Short-bowel syndrome is a disorder clinically defined by malabsorption,
diarrhea, steatorrhea, fluid and electrolyte disturbances, and malnutrition. The
final common etiologic factor in all causes of short-bowel syndrome is the
functional or anatomic loss of extensive segments of small intestine so that
absorptive capacity is severely compromised. Although resection of the colon
alone typically does not result in short-bowel syndrome, the condition's
presence can be a critical factor in the management of patients who lose
significant amounts of small intestine. Massive small intestinal resection
compromises digestive and absorptive processes. Adequate digestion and
absorption cannot take place, and proper nutritional status cannot be maintained
without supportive care. Today, the most common causes of short-bowel syndrome
in adults include Crohn disease, radiation enteritis, mesenteric vascular
accidents, trauma, and recurrent intestinal obstruction. In the pediatric
population, necrotizing enterocolitis, intestinal atresias, and intestinal
volvulus are the most common etiologic factors. Other conditions associated with
short-bowel syndrome include congenital short small bowel, gastroschisis, and
meconium peritonitis. Not all patients with loss of significant amounts of small
intestine develop short-bowel syndrome. Important cofactors that help to
determine whether the syndrome will develop or not include the premorbid length
of small bowel, the segment of intestine that is lost, the age of the patient at
the time of bowel loss, the remaining length of small bowel and colon, and the
presence or absence of the ileocecal valve.
* Sialidosis is a rare lysosomal storage disease with two distinct clinical
phenotypes. Type I sialadosis is the milder form with onset of gait
abnormalities, progressive vision loss, bilateral macular cherry-red spots, and
myoclonus in the second or third decade. Ataxia and seizures have also been
reported in type I patients. Type II has an earlier onset with coarse facial
features, dysostosis multiplex, short stature, developmental delay, mental
retardation and hepatosplenomegaly. Type II patients may also present with a
congenital-onset form associated with ascites and hydrops fetalis prenatally, an
infantile-onset form with the absence of symptoms at birth or a juvenile form
that has onset in late childhood and a relatively milder phenotype. Seizures,
myoclonus and renal involvement have also been documented in type II cases. The
frequency of diagnosed sialidosis in the general population is estimated at
approximately one in four million live births.
* Sicca (Sjogren) syndrome is a long term autoimmune disease in which the
moisture-producing glands of the body are affected.This results primarily in the
development of a dry mouth and dry eyes. Other symptoms can include dry skin, a
chronic cough, vaginal dryness, numbness in the arms and legs, feeling tired,
muscle and joint pains, and thyroid problems. Those affected are at an increased
risk (5%) of lymphoma. The hallmark symptom of SS is a generalized dryness,
typically including xerostomia and keratoconjunctivitis sicca, part of what are
known as sicca symptoms. Sicca syndrome also incorporates vaginal dryness and
chronic bronchitis. SS may cause skin, nose, and vaginal dryness, and may affect
other organs of the body, including the muscles (myositis), kidneys, blood
vessels, lungs, liver, biliary system, pancreas, peripheral nervous system
(distal axonal sensorimotor neuropathy or small fiber peripheral neuropathy) and
brain. Some patients have gastric issues such as GERD, achlorhydria and/or
gastroparesis, and chronic pain with accompanying fatigue and brain fog. The
symptoms may develop insidiously, with the diagnosis often not considered for
several years, because the complaints of sicca may be otherwise attributed to
medications, a dry environment, aging, or may be regarded as not of severity
warranting the level of investigation necessary to establish the presence of the
specific underlying autoimmune disorder condition. SS is associated with a
number of other medical conditions, many of which are autoimmune or rheumatic
disorders, such as celiac disease, fibromyalgia, autoimmune thyroiditis,
multiple sclerosis and spondyloarthropathy, and several malignancies,
principally non-Hodgkin lymphoma.
* Skin mole, growths on the skin which happen when skin's pigment cells
-melanocytes, grow in clusters.
* Small-cell carcinoma is a type of highly malignant cancer that most commonly
arises within the lung, although it can occasionally arise in other body sites,
such as the cervix, prostate, and gastrointestinal tract. Compared to non-small
cell carcinoma, small cell carcinoma has a shorter doubling time, higher growth
fraction, and earlier development of metastases. Small-cell carcinoma of the
lung usually presents in the central airways and infiltrates the submucosa
leading to narrowing of bronchial airways. Common symptoms include cough,
dyspnea, weight loss, and debility. Over 70% of patients with small-cell
carcinoma present with metastatic disease; common sites include liver, adrenals,
bone, and brain. Small-cell carcinoma is an undifferentiated neoplasm composed
of primitive-appearing cells. As the name implies, the cells in small-cell
carcinomas are smaller than normal cells, and barely have room for any
cytoplasm. Some researchers identify this as a failure in the mechanism that
controls the size of the cells. Due to its high grade neuroendocrine nature,
small-cell carcinomas can produce ectopic hormones, including
adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and anti-diuretic hormone (ADH). Ectopic
production of large amounts of ADH leads to syndrome of inappropriate
antidiuretic hormone hypersecretion (SIADH). Lambert-Eaton myasthenic syndrome
(LEMS) is a well-known paraneoplastic condition linked to small-cell carcinoma.
When associated with the lung, it is sometimes called "oat cell carcinoma" due
to the flat cell shape and scanty cytoplasm. Small-cell lung carcinoma can occur
in combination with a wide variety of other histological variants of lung
cancer, including extremely complex malignant tissue admixtures. When it is
found with one or more differentiated forms of lung cancer, such as squamous
cell carcinoma or adenocarcinoma, the malignant tumor is then diagnosed and
classified as a combined small cell lung carcinoma (c-SCLC).
* Spastic spinal monoplegia is a syndrome associated with injury to the lateral
half of the spinal cord. The condition is characterized by the following
clinical features (which are found below the level of the lesion): contralateral
hemisensory anesthesia to pain and temperature, ipsilateral loss of
propioception, and ipsilateral motor paralysis. Tactile sensation is generally
spared.
* Spider veins or telangiectasia.
* Spina bifida is a birth defect where there is incomplete closing of the
backbone and membranes around the spinal cord. The most common location is the
lower back, but in rare cases it may be the middle back or neck. Associated
problems include poor ability to walk, problems with bladder or bowel control,
hydrocephalus, a tethered spinal cord, and latex allergy. Learning problems are
relatively uncommon. Most cases of spina bifida can be prevented if the mother
gets enough folate before and during pregnancy. Adding folic acid to flour has
been found to be effective for most women. Physical signs of spina bifida may
include: Leg weakness and paralysis, orthopedic abnormalities (i.e., club foot,
hip dislocation, scoliosis), bladder and bowel control problems, including
incontinence, urinary tract infections, and poor kidney function, pressure sores
and skin irritations, abnormal eye movement. 68% of children with spina bifida
have an allergy to latex, ranging from mild to life-threatening.
* Spina bifida occulta is the mildest form of spina bifida. In occulta, the
outer part of some of the vertebrae is not completely closed. The splits in the
vertebrae are so small that the spinal cord does not protrude. The skin at the
site of the lesion may be normal, or it may have some hair growing from it;
there may be a dimple in the skin, or a birthmark. Unlike most other types of
neural tube defects, spina bifida occulta is not associated with increased AFP,
a common screening tool used to detect neural tube defects in utero. This is
because, unlike most of the other neural tube defects, the dural lining is
maintained. Many people with this type of spina bifida do not even know they
have it, as the condition is asymptomatic in most cases. The incidence of spina
bifida occulta is approximately 10-20% of the population, and most people are
diagnosed incidentally from spinal X-rays.
* Spinal cord inflammation, different neurological conditions which results to
individuals suffering from back pain. It may be caused by viral infection,
bacteria or auto immune disease.
* Spinal muscular atrophy, group of inherited diseases that cause muscle damage
and weakness, which get worse over time and eventually lead to death.
* Spinal stenosis, narrowing of the spinal canal that causes compression of the
spinal nerve cord.
* Spinocerebellar ataxia type 3 (SCA3) also known as Machado–Joseph disease
(MJD), is a rare autosomal dominantly inherited neurodegenerative disease that
causes progressive cerebellar ataxia, which results in a lack of muscle control
and coordination of the upper and lower extremities. Some symptoms, such as
clumsiness and rigidity, make MJD commonly mistaken for drunkenness or
Parkinson's disease. Machado–Joseph disease is a type of spinocerebellar ataxia
and is the most common cause of autosomal-dominant ataxia. MJD causes
ophthalmoplegia and mixed sensory and cerebellar ataxia. Symptoms of MJD are
memory deficits, spasticity, difficulty with speech and swallowing, weakness in
arms and legs, clumsiness, frequent urination and involuntary eye movements.
Symptoms can begin in early adolescence and they get worse over time.
Eventually, MJD leads to paralysis; however, intellectual functions usually
remain the same. The pons (a structure located on the brain stem) is one of the
areas affected by MJD. The striatum (a brain area connected to balance and
movement) is also affected by this disease, which could explain both of the main
motor problems cause by MJD: the tightening and twisting of the limb and the
abrupt, irregular movements.
* Splenic rupture occurs when the spleen is placed under intense
pressure/duress, strong enough to tear or separate the outer lining of the
organ. A ruptured spleen accounts for 10% of all abdominal injuries. When a
blunt abdominal trauma is present, the spleen is the most frequently and often
the only injured organ. A splenic rupture typically results in severe pain and
internal bleeding. However, some cases have exhibited only mild symptoms and
symptoms may appear delayed as opposed to immediate presentation. The condition
is usually caused by a sudden and direct blow to the abdomen, but spontaneous
rupture is also possible if the spleen is enlarged or has been enlarged in the
past, due to mononucleosis, infection, or chronic excessive consumption of
alcohol. Some symptoms are: Right quadrant/left abdominal pain. Left shoulder
pain. Severe or mild pain. Rebound tenderness. Muscle guarding. Nausea. Profuse
sweating or hot and cold sensations. Abdominal distension or ecchymosis
(bruising). Light headedness or syncope (fainting). Fatigue. Low blood pressure.
Blurred vision.
* Spondylitis ankylosing, inflammatory disease that can cause some of the
vertebrae in your spine to fuse together.
* Spondylolisthesis is is the forward displacement of a vertebral bone in
relation to the natural curve of the spine, most commonly occurring after a
fracture, and most often the fifth lumbar vertebra. Backward displacement is
referred to as retrolisthesis. When occurring in conjunction with scoliosis, the
shortened term "olisthesis," may sometimes be used instead. Symptoms of
spondylolisthesis include: A general stiffening of the back and a tightening of
the hamstrings, with a resulting change in both posture and gait. A
leaning-forward or semi-kyphotic posture may be seen, due to compensatory
changes. A "waddle" may be seen in more advanced causes, due to compensatory
pelvic rotation due to decreased lumbar spine rotation. A result of the change
in gait is often a noticeable atrophy in the gluteal muscles due to lack of use.
Generalized lower-back pain may also be seen, with intermittent shooting pain
from the buttocks to the posterior thigh, and/or lower leg via the sciatic
nerve. Other symptoms may include tingling and numbness. Coughing and sneezing
can intensify the pain. An individual may also note a "slipping sensation" when
moving into an upright position. Sitting and trying to stand up may be painful
and difficult.
* STD Comprehensive, Herpes, Gonorrhea, Syphilis, Chlamydia, HPV, HIV Symptoms.
* Stevens-Johnson syndrome (SJS) is a form of toxic epidermal necrolysis which
often begins with a fever and flu-like symptoms. Within a few days, the skin
begins to blister and peel, forming very painful raw areas called erosions that
resemble a severe hot-water burn. The skin erosions usually start on the face
and chest before spreading to other parts of the body. In most affected
individuals, the condition also damages the mucous membranes, including the
lining of the mouth and the airways, which can cause trouble with swallowing and
breathing. The painful blistering can also affect the urinary tract and
genitals. SJS often affects the eyes as well, causing irritation and redness of
the conjunctiva, which are the mucous membranes that protect the white part of
the eye and line the eyelids, and damage to the clear front covering of the eye
(the cornea). Severe damage to the skin and mucous membranes makes SJS a
life-threatening disease. Because the skin normally acts as a protective
barrier, extensive skin damage can lead to a dangerous loss of fluids and allow
infections to develop. Serious complications can include pneumonia, overwhelming
bacterial infections (sepsis), shock, multiple organ failure, and death. About
10 percent of people with Stevens-Johnson syndrome die from the disease, while
the condition is fatal in up to 50 percent of those with toxic epidermal
necrolysis. Among people who survive, long-term effects of SJS can include
changes in skin coloring (pigmentation), dryness of the skin and mucous
membranes (xerosis), excess sweating (hyperhidrosis), hair loss (alopecia), and
abnormal growth or loss of the fingernails and toenails. Other long-term
problems can include impaired taste, difficulty urinating, and genital
abnormalities. A small percentage of affected individuals develop chronic
dryness or inflammation of the eyes, which can lead to increased sensitivity to
light (photophobia) and vision impairment.
* Stomatitis aphtous, mouth ulcers.
* Strabismus convergent or esotropia is a form of strabismus, or "squint," in
which one or both eyes turns inward. The condition can be constantly present, or
occur intermittently, and can give the affected individual a "cross-eyed"
appearance. Esotropia is sometimes erroneously called “lazy eye,” which
describes the condition of amblyopia—a reduction in vision of one or both eyes
that is not the result of any pathology of the eye and cannot be resolved by the
use of corrective lenses. Amblyopia can, however, arise as a result of esotropia
occurring in childhood.
* Strabismus divergent, exotropia, divergent squint or wall eyes, is a form of
strabismus where the eyes are deviated outward. It is the opposite of esotropia.
People with exotropia often experience crossed diplopia. Intermittent exotropia
is a fairly common condition. "Sensory exotropia" occurs in the presence of poor
vision. Infantile exotropia (sometimes called "congenital exotropia") is seen
during the first year of life, and is less common than "essential exotropia"
which usually becomes apparent several years later. The brain's ability to see
three-dimensional objects depends on proper alignment of the eyes. When both
eyes are properly aligned and aimed at the same target, the visual portion of
the brain fuses the forms into a single image. When one eye turns inward,
outward, upward, or downward, two different pictures are sent to the brain. This
causes loss of depth perception and binocular vision. There have also been some
reports of people that can "control" their afflicted eye.
* Strabismus is a condition in which the eyes do not properly align with each
other. This interferes with binocular vision because it prevents a person from
directing both eyes simultaneously towards the same fixation point. It also
typically affects depth perception. Strabismus typically involves a lack of
coordination between the extraocular muscles. Strabismus is present in about 4%
of children. Treatment should be started as early as possible to ensure the
development of the best possible visual acuity and stereopsis.
* Stress is a feeling of strain and pressure. Stress can be external and related
to the environment, but may also be created by internal perceptions. Humans
experience stress, or perceive things as threatening, when they do not believe
that their resources for coping with obstacles (stimuli, people, situations,
etc.) are enough for what the circumstances demand. When we think the demands
being placed on us exceed our ability to cope, we then perceive stress.
* Strongyloidiasis is an intestinal infection caused by 2 species of the
parasitic nematode Strongyloides. The most common and clinically important
pathogenic species in humans is S stercoralis. S fuelleborni is found
sporadically in Africa and Papua New Guinea. Distinctive characteristics of this
parasite are its ability to persist and replicate within a host for decades
while producing minimal or no symptoms (individuals with an intact immune
system) and its potential to cause life-threatening infection (hyperinfection
syndrome, disseminated strongyloidiasis) in an immunocompromised host (60-85%
mortality rate). The symptoms related to strongyloidiasis may reflect the
nematode's systemic passage, its local cutaneous involvement, or both. During
chronic uncomplicated infections, the larvae may migrate to the skin, where they
can cause cutaneous strongyloidiasis, known as larva currens because of the
quick migratory rate of the larva. Infection is clinically characterized by
watery diarrhea, abdominal cramping, and urticarial rash. In malnourished
children, strongyloidiasis remains an important cause of chronic diarrhea,
cachexia, and failure to thrive.
* Subdural hematoma also known as a subdural haemorrhage (SDH), is a type of
hematoma, usually associated with traumatic brain injury. Blood gathers between
the inner layer of the dura mater and the arachnoid mater. Usually resulting
from tears in bridging veins which cross the subdural space, subdural
hemorrhages may cause an increase in intracranial pressure (ICP), which can
cause compression of and damage to delicate brain tissue. Subdural hematomas are
often life-threatening when acute. Chronic subdural hematomas, however, have a
better prognosis if properly managed. In contrast, epidural hematomas are
usually caused by tears in arteries, resulting in a build-up of blood between
the dura mater and skull. Symptoms of subdural hemorrhage have a slower onset
than those of epidural hemorrhages because the lower pressure veins bleed more
slowly than arteries. Therefore, signs and symptoms may show up in minutes, if
not immediately but can be delayed as much as 2 weeks. If the bleeds are large
enough to put pressure on the brain, signs of increased ICP (intracranial
pressure) or damage to part of the brain will be present. Other signs and
symptoms of subdural hematoma can include any combination of the following: A
history of recent head injury. Loss of consciousness or fluctuating levels of
consciousness. Irritability. Seizures. Pain. Numbness. Headache (either constant
or fluctuating). Dizziness. Disorientation. Amnesia. Weakness or lethargy.
Nausea or vomiting. Loss of appetite. Personality changes. Inability to speak or
slurred speech. Ataxia, or difficulty walking. Loss of muscle control. Altered
breathing patterns. Hearing loss or hearing ringing (tinnitus). Blurred Vision.
Deviated gaze, or abnormal movement of the eyes. Subdural hematomas are most
often caused by head injury, when rapidly changing velocities within the skull
may stretch and tear small bridging veins. Subdural hematomas due to head injury
are described as traumatic. Much more common than epidural hemorrhages, subdural
hemorrhages generally result from shearing injuries due to various rotational or
linear forces. Subdural hemorrhage is a classic finding in shaken baby syndrome,
in which similar shearing forces classically cause intra- and pre-retinal
hemorrhages. Subdural hematoma is also commonly seen in the elderly and in
alcoholics, who have evidence of cerebral atrophy. Cerebral atrophy increases
the length the bridging veins have to traverse between the two meningeal layers,
hence increasing the likelihood of shearing forces causing a tear. It is also
more common in patients on anticoagulants, especially aspirin and warfarin.
Patients on these medications can have a subdural hematoma with a minor injury.
A further cause can be a reduction in cerebral spinal fluid pressure which can
create a low pressure in the subarachnoid space, pulling the arachnoid away from
the dura mater and leading to a rupture of the blood vessels.
* Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSHL), commonly known as sudden deafness,
occurs as an unexplained, rapid loss of hearing—usually in one ear—either at
once or over several days.
* Sweat gland diseases, abnormal function of the sweat glands.
* Swelling / edema, see which suits you better.
* Systemic inflammatory response syndrome (SIRS), a severe systemic response to
a condition that provokes an acute inflammatory reaction indicated by the
presence of some symptoms such as abnormal body temperature, and fast heart and
breath rate.
* Systemic sclerosis, is an autoimmune disease of the connective tissue. It is
characterized by thickening of the skin caused by accumulation of collagen, and
by injuries to small arteries.There are two forms of scleroderma: localized and
systemic. The localized (limited) form affects the skin of only the face, hands,
and feet. The systemic (diffuse) form involves those and, in addition, may
progress to visceral organs, including the kidneys, heart, lungs, and
gastrointestinal tract. Signs and symptoms associated with limited scleroderma
include calcinosis, Raynaud's phenomenon, esophageal dysfunction, sclerodactyly,
and telangiectasia.
