| celiac disease | Coeliac disease or celiac disease is a long-term AutoImmuneDisorder that primarily affects the SmallIntestine. Classic symptoms include gastrointestinal problems such as chronic Diarrhoea, abdominal distention, malabsorption, loss of appetite, and among children failure to grow normally. This often begins between six months and two years of age. Non-classic symptoms are more common, especially in people older than two years. There may be mild or absent gastrointestinal symptoms, a wide number of symptoms involving any part of the body, or no obvious symptoms. Coeliac disease was first described in childhood; however, it may develop at any age. It is associated with other autoimmune diseases, such as DiabetesType1 and HashimotosThyroiditis, among others.

| septicemia | Sepsis is a life-threatening condition that arises when the body's response to infection causes injury to its own Tissues and Organs. This initial stage is followed by suppression of the immune system. Common signs and symptoms include Fever, increased heartRate, increased breathing rate, and confusion. There may also be symptoms related to a specific infection, such as a Cough with Pneumonia, or painful Urination with a Kidney infection. The very young, old, and people with a weakened immune system may have no symptoms of a specific infection, and the body temperature may be low or normal instead of having a fever. Severe sepsis causes poor organ function or blood flow. The presence of low blood pressure (systoligBloodPressure and/or diastolicBloodPressure), high blood lactate, or low Urine output may suggest poor blood flow. Septic shock is low blood pressure due to sepsis that does not improve after fluid replacement. Sepsis is caused by many Organisms including a Bacterium, Virus or Fungus.[from Wikipedia] |
