Category:Eponymous diseases
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Eponymous diseases are diseases that are named after people, usually either the doctor who first described the disease or after the first patient described with the disease. On the other hand, diseases such as Alice in Wonderland syndrome and Pickwickian syndrome have been named after fictional characters based on the symptoms experienced. Related disease namings include place names (Bornholm disease, Lyme disease) and even societies (Legionnaires' disease). These, however, are not eponyms.
