Use this template freely for any medical condition. Its use is not limited strictly to diseases. It can be paired with {{Medical resources}}.

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 typically maximum of six.

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