This template is used on approximately 11,000 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.

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:

(({name))}
Other names	(({synonyms))}
[[File:(({image))}\|(({image_size))}\|alt=(({alt))}\|upright=(({image_upright))}\|thumbtime=(({image_thumbtime))}]]
(({caption))}
[[File:(({image2))}\|(({image_size2))}\|alt=(({alt2))}\|upright=(({image2_upright))}\|thumbtime=(({image_thumbtime2))}]]

))

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.
