• Acute lymphocytic leukemia: A malignant disease that starts suddenly and progresses quickly. It is characterized by a high number of immature cells in the organs, bone marrow and blood.

• Brucellosis: An infectious disease caused by the Brucella genus which is transmitted from animals to humans.
• Bullis fever syndrome: A disease transmitted through tick bites (Ambylomma americanum). Symptoms include fever, rash and headache. The disease was first observed in soldiers training at Camp Bullis in America.
• Burkitt's lymphoma: A rare type of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma that occurs mostly in African children and is often initiated by the Epstein-Barr virus. Also called African lymphoma or Burkitt's tumor.
• Chickenpox: Common viral infection.
• Congenital syphilis: Syphilis inherited from mother during pregnancy.
• Cytomegalovirus: A easily transmissible viral infection that is common but generally causes no symptoms except in infants and people with weakened immune systems.
• Epstein-Barr virus: Common virus causing mononucleosis
• Epstein-Barr virus, chronic: A form of human herpes virus that produces persistent symptoms. Most people become infected with the virus at some stage in their life though they usually have few if any symptoms. However, some people develop severe symptoms as a result of an EBV infection.
• Ethotoin - Teratogenic Agent: There is evidence to indicate that exposure to Ethotoin (an anticonvulsant drug) during pregnancy may have a teratogenic effect on the fetus. A teratogen is a substance that can cause birth defects. The likelihood and severity of defects may be affected by the level of exposure and the stage of pregnancy that the exposure occurred at.
• Follicular lymphoma: A form of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma characterized by an abnormal proliferation of B-lymphocytes. It is a cancer of the B-lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell) which, if untreated, can spread to other parts of the body such as the bones and the liver. It differs from diffuse large B-cell lymphoma in that it is a low-grade lymphoma that usually develops slowly. Follicular lymphoma often transforms into diffuse large B-cell lymphoma.
• Hepatitis A: Contagious viral infection of the liver
• Hepatitis B: Viral liver infection spread by sex or body fluids.
• Herbal Agent adverse reaction - Ginseng: Ginseng can be used as a herbal agent, usually in the form of a tea, to help combat stress. Some people may develop an adverse reaction to Ginseng.
• Herbal Agent overdose - Ginseng: Ginseng can be used as a herbal agent, usually in the form of a tea, to help combat stress. Excessive doses of ginseng can cause overdose symptoms - 3 to 15 g per day for a number of years can cause overdose symptoms.

• Myeloma: A primary malignancy of the plasma cells
• Non-Hodgkin's lymphoma: A condition which is any neoplastic disorder of the lymphoid tissue
• Possible human carcinogenic exposure - Phenytoin: Some evidence indicates that exposure to Phenytoin (an anticonvulsant medication) has a possible link to an increased risk of developing cancer in humans. The carcinogenicity of the substance may be influenced by the duration and level of exposure.
• Rubella: A contagious viral infection caused by the Rubella virus which produces a rash and lymph node swelling. It can have serious implication in pregnant women as the virus can be transmitted through the placenta and cause serious fetal defects or even fetal death.
• Secondary syphilis: A condition which is characterized by fever, multiform skin eruptions, iritis, alopecia, mucous patches and severe pain in the head and joints
• Serum sickness: Type of allergic reaction to certain medications or serums
• Toxoplasmosis: Infection often caught from cats and their feces.
• Tuberculosis: Bacterial infection causing nodules forming, most commonly in the lung.
• Whooping Cough: An infectious condition caused by the bacteria Bordetella pertussis
