- Overview for Classification of Non-Malignant Diseases
- First Sentence:
- Molluscum contagiosum may be classified according to restriction endonuclease analysis into at least two types; type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is more common.
- OR
- [Disease name] may be classified into [Large number > 6] subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
- OR
- [Disease name] may be classified into several subtypes based on [classification method 1], [classification method 2], and [classification method 3].
- OR
- [Disease name] may be classified into acute and chronic forms, depending on the timing of presentation and duration.
- Examples:
- Example 1: Silicosis may be classified according to the duration of exposure, development of symptoms, pulmonary function, and findings on chest imaging into 5 subtypes: simple chronic, interstitial pulmonary fibrosis, accelerated silicosis, and acute silicosis.
- Example 2: Legionellosis may be classified according to the affected organ system and the clinical presentation into 3 subtypes: Legionnaires’ disease, Pontiac fever, and extrapulmonary infection.
- Example 3: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma may be classified into 14 subtypes based on immunophenotyping/genetic testing.
- Example 4: Diffuse large B cell lymphoma may be classified into several subtypes based on immunophenotyping and genetic testing.
