African Swine Fever	D000357	[A sometimes fatal ASFIVIRUS infection of pigs, characterized by fever, cough, diarrhea, hemorrhagic lymph nodes, and edema of the gallbladder. It is transmitted between domestic swine by direct contact, ingestion of infected meat, or fomites, or mechanically by biting flies or soft ticks (genus Ornithodoros).]
Agammaglobulinemia	D000361	[An immunologic deficiency state characterized by an extremely low level of generally all classes of gamma-globulin in the blood.]
Agenesis of Corpus Callosum	D061085	[Birth defect that results in a partial or complete absence of the CORPUS CALLOSUM. It may be isolated or a part of a syndrome (e.g., AICARDI'S SYNDROME; ACROCALLOSAL SYNDROME; ANDERMANN SYNDROME; and HOLOPROSENCEPHALY). Clinical manifestations include neuromotor skill impairment and INTELLECTUAL DISABILITY of variable severity.]
Ageusia	D000370	[Complete or severe loss of the subjective sense of taste, frequently accompanied by OLFACTION DISORDERS.]
Aggressive Periodontitis	D010520	[A localized aggressive periodontitis, formerly called localized juvenile periodontitis. It is a destructive form of periodontitis characterized by ALVEOLAR BONE LOSS of the MOLARS and INCISORS., Inflammation and loss of PERIODONTIUM that is characterized by rapid attachment loss and bone destruction in the presence of little local factors such as DENTAL PLAQUE and DENTAL CALCULUS. This highly destructive form of periodontitis often occurs in young people and was called early-onset periodontitis, but this disease also appears in old people.]
Aging, Premature	D019588	[Changes in the organism associated with senescence, occurring at an accelerated rate.]
Agnosia	D000377	[Loss of the ability to comprehend the meaning or recognize the importance of various forms of stimulation that cannot be attributed to impairment of a primary sensory modality. Tactile agnosia is characterized by an inability to perceive the shape and nature of an object by touch alone, despite unimpaired sensation to light touch, position, and other primary sensory modalities., A condition in which a person who suffers illness or disability seems unaware of or denies the existence of the illness or disability.]
Agranulocytosis	D000380	[A decrease in the number of GRANULOCYTES; (BASOPHILS; EOSINOPHILS; and NEUTROPHILS).]
Agraphia	D000381	[Some authorities use this term interchangeably with Agraphia and some do not., Loss or impairment of the ability to write (letters, syllables, words, or phrases) due to an injury to a specific cerebral area or occasionally due to emotional factors. This condition rarely occurs in isolation, and often accompanies APHASIA. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p485; APA, Thesaurus of Psychological Index Terms, 1994)]
Agricultural Workers' Diseases	D000382	[Diseases in persons engaged in cultivating and tilling soil, growing plants, harvesting crops, raising livestock, or otherwise engaged in husbandry and farming. The diseases are not restricted to farmers in the sense of those who perform conventional farm chores: the heading applies also to those engaged in the individual activities named above, as in those only gathering harvest or in those only dusting crops.]
Aicardi Syndrome	D058540	[A rare genetic disorder characterized by partial or complete absence of the CORPUS CALLOSUM, resulting in infantile spasms, MENTAL RETARDATION, and lesions of the RETINA or OPTIC NERVE.]
Ainhum	D000387	[Spontaneous autoamputation of the fourth or fifth toe.]
Airway Obstruction	D000402	[Any hindrance to the passage of air into and out of the lungs.]
Airway Remodeling	D056151	[The structural changes seen in the asthmatic airways, including increased SMOOTH MUSCLE mass, deposition of EXTRACELLULAR MATRIX components, and thickening of the epithelial reticular BASEMENT MEMBRANE. Asthmatic airway remodeling is often associated with airway function decline (e.g., airflow limitation, persistent airway hyper-responsiveness, and allergic airway inflammation)., The structural changes in the number, mass, size and/or composition of the airway tissues., Small airway (e.g., BRONCHIOLES) remodeling due to smoking, inhaled irritants, etc.]
Akathisia, Drug-Induced	D017109	[A condition associated with the use of certain medications and characterized by an internal sense of motor restlessness often described as an inability to resist the urge to move.]
Akinetic Mutism	D000405	[A syndrome characterized by a silent and inert state without voluntary motor activity despite preserved sensorimotor pathways and vigilance. Bilateral FRONTAL LOBE dysfunction involving the anterior cingulate gyrus and related brain injuries are associated with this condition. This may result in impaired abilities to communicate and initiate motor activities. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p348; Fortschr Neurol Psychiatr 1995 Feb;63(2):59-67)]
Alagille Syndrome	D016738	[A multisystem disorder that is characterized by aplasia of intrahepatic bile ducts (BILE DUCTS, INTRAHEPATIC), and malformations in the cardiovascular system, the eyes, the vertebral column, and the facies. Major clinical features include JAUNDICE, and congenital heart disease with peripheral PULMONARY STENOSIS. Alagille syndrome may result from heterogeneous gene mutations, including mutations in JAG1 on CHROMOSOME 20 (Type 1) and NOTCH2 on CHROMOSOME 1 (Type 2).]
Albinism	D000417	[General term for a number of inherited defects of amino acid metabolism in which there is a deficiency or absence of pigment in the eyes, skin, or hair.]
Albinism, Ocular	D016117	[Albinism affecting the eye in which pigment of the hair and skin is normal or only slightly diluted. The classic type is X-linked (Nettleship-Falls), but an autosomal recessive form also exists. Ocular abnormalities may include reduced pigmentation of the iris, nystagmus, photophobia, strabismus, and decreased visual acuity.]
