Template documentation[view] [edit] [history] [purge]

This template is used on approximately 9,800 pages and changes may be widely noticed. Test changes in the template's /sandbox or /testcases subpages, or in your own user subpage. Consider discussing changes on the talk page before implementing them.

Preview message: Transclusion count updated automatically (see documentation).

This template adds an automatically generated short description. If the automatic short description is not optimal, replace it by adding {{Short description}} at the top of the article.

This template uses Lua:

The {{Infobox medical condition}} template may be used for any medical condition. Its use is not limited strictly to diseases. Please consider adding the {{Medical resources}} navbox template at the same time.

Usage

The template is a summary about the condition itself. Don't worry about trying to fill in all the fields—even if you can only get one or two, that can still be useful. Items are provided as a list with a typical maximum of six.

While editing a condition, copy and paste the following text at the top of the page:

{{Infobox medical condition
 |name            = 
 |synonyms        = <!-- or |synonym= -->
 |image           = 
 |image_upright   = 
 |image_size      = 
 |alt             = 
 |image_thumbtime = 
 |caption         = 
 |width           = 
 |image2          = 
 |image2_upright  = 
 |image_size2     = 
 |alt2            = 
 |image_thumbtime2 =
 |caption2        = 
 |width2          = 
 |pronounce       = 
 |pronounce 2     = 
 |specialty       = <!-- from Wikidata; can be overwritten -->
 |symptoms        = 
 |complications   = 
 |onset           = 
 |duration        = 
 |types           = 
 |causes          = <!-- or |cause= -->
 |risks           = <!-- or |risk= -->
 |diagnosis       = 
 |differential    = 
 |prevention      = 
 |treatment       = <!-- or |management= -->
 |medication      = 
 |prognosis       = 
 |frequency       = <!-- also |incidence= or |prevalence= -->
 |deaths          = 
 |named after     = <!-- or |eponym= -->
}}

The |treatment= parameter may be replaced by |management=. This will change the label to "Management".

The |onset_always= parameter may be set, as |onset_always=y, to display "Onset" instead of "Usual onset". This makes sense for most genetic conditions, or conditions guaranteed to always happen at a certain time.

The |frequency= parameter may be replaced by |incidence= or |prevalence=. This will change the label to "Incidence" or "Prevalence" respectively. See [[Incidence (epidemiology) § Incidence vs. prevalence for the difference between the two.
