The number of cases in the UK have tripled in the last decade, jumping from 361 cases in 1991 to over 1,000 cases in 1997.
Currently, emphysema cannot be cured, although radical surgical methods have been tried with some success. This combination is called Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary Disease (COPD).
Treatment will help but the eczema may persist. Long-term effects may include flashbacks, but little research has been done in this area.
Bulimics may have irregular periods or stop having periods at all because of excessive use of laxatives and vomiting.
Other forms of treatment range from group therapy, family counselling and psychotherapy to antidepressants.
Ectopic pregnancies are on the rise with the rate nearly tripling from 1970 to 1980.
What may begin as a normal diet is carried to extremes, with many reducing their intake to an absolute minimum. These include an amoebicide to kill the parasite, an antibiotic to treat any associated bacterial infection, and a drug to combat infection of the liver and other tissues. However, the drug can damage health, and, for the unlucky few, it can kill. People who smoke the drug usually feel its effects within minutes and they may last up to three hours. In chronic COPD, surgeons have taken the radical step of giving lung transplants, and another technique called lung volume reduction surgery is used. Laxatives do not cause people to lose weight, but remove water and essential minerals, such as potassium, from the body, giving the appearance of weight loss.
This leaves the lungs feeling continually over full, and it is a struggle for sufferers to force air in and out.
Eczema is common in childhood - up to a fifth of children of school age have eczema. The Pennington Report (the commission was led by Professor Hugh Pennington) put forward 32 recommendations, all of which were accepted by the government. Steroid creams and ointments can be used to reduce the inflammation by dampening down the body's natural immune response.
Some patients also suffer from a complication, hemolytic uremic syndrome (HUS), which kills red blood cells and can cause kidney failure. Ebola and a few other haemorrhagic fevers have been responsible for a tiny number of deaths compared to Aids, and the number of cases reported outside Africa has been miniscule. In rare cases, it is inherited and results from a deficiency of a protein.
Very often, flu-like symptoms such as a sore throat, headache and high temperature are the first sign of infection. Following the Scottish outbreak, the British government set up a commission to look into the issue of food safety.
It tends to be more common in infants, and elderly and malnourished people.
Mortality is also highest in these groups.
Factors such as stress and changes in hormone levels (during a woman's menstrual cycle) may also contribute to flare-ups.
Pregnant women who regularly use amphetamines may suffer premature birth and the drug can be passed onto babies through breast milk.
