Template:Infobox medical condition/doc

The 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:

The treatment parameter may be replaced by management. This will change the label to "Management".

The onset_always parameter may be set, as 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.
