Ill-defined health conditions

  • Non-conclusive symptoms of disease
  • Mysterious organic damage
  • Non-specific bodily ailments
  • Signs of disharmony in the body
  • Chronic health irritations
  • Unresolved ill health

Incidence

The highest costing disease category in the USA are ill-defined health conditions.

Claim

Some ailments by their nature are difficult to diagnose, for example diagnoses of exclusion, and new strains of re-emerging diseases; for example, idiopathic anaphylaxis is a diagnosis of exclusion; a physician must eliminate all other known causes of anaphylactic attack before labelling it idiopathic.
