- cystic echinococcosis [DOID:1495]
An echinococcosis that is caused by the larvae of Echinococcus granulosus. Hepatic involvement can result in abdominal pain, a mass in the hepatic area, and biliary duct obstruction. Pulmonary involvement can produce chest pain, cough, and hemoptysis. Rupture of the cysts produce fever, urticaria, eosinophilia, and anaphylactic shock, as well as cyst dissemination. Brain, bone, heart can also be infected.
- cystic fibrosis [DOID:1485]

- mucocutaneous leishmaniasis [DOID:9155]
A leishmaniasis that involves a chronic inflammatory process involving the nasal, pharyngeal, and laryngeal mucosa, which can lead to extensive tissue destruction, caused by protozoan parasites belonging to the genus Leishmania. The infection is characterized by granulomatous lesion which can destroy upper respiratory tract mucosa.
- osmotic diarrhea [DOID:0050130]
A dirrhea that occurs when too much water is drawn into the bowels. This can be the result of maldigestion (e.g., pancreatic disease or Coeliac disease), in which the nutrients are left in the lumen to pull in water. Osmotic diarrhea can also be caused by osmotic laxatives (which work to alleviate constipation by drawing water into the bowels). In healthy individuals, too much magnesium or vitamin C or undigested lactose can produce osmotic diarrhea and distention of the bowel. A person who does not have lactose intolerance can have difficulty absorbing lactose after an extraordinarily high intake of dairy products.
- chronic laryngitis [DOID:11797]
A laryngitis in which symptoms last longer than three weeks. Gastroesophageal reflux, and lingering bronchitis can cause the disease.
- myofibrillar myopathy [DOID:0080307]
A myopathy that is characterized by slowly progressive muscle weakness that can involve both proximal muscles and distal muscles.
