Top 10 Fictional Disease

There are so many diseases and medical conditions that appear in the human body. With that there is some fictional disease too, these are not real and appear only in certain novels, anime, games, movies, etc.

Today we’ll discuss Top 10 most famous fictional diseases.

1. Brainbox(cobra): A recombinant virus produced by genetic engineering from the nuclear polyhedrosis virus, rhinovirus, and smallpox. It induces nightmares, fever, chills, a runny nose, encephalitis (brain swelling), and herpes-like boils in the mouth and genitals, accompanied by a brief period of violence and autocannibalism until death. As a bioterrorist device.
2. Nanovirus: The Confederacy of Independent Systems produced a nanovirus specifically designed to destroy Jango Fett clones. However, its author, Ovolot Qail Uthan, is apprehended by Republic Commandos before her study is completed. It is revealed in later books in the series (though not to either of the main characters, but the reader in both Palpatine's and Dr. Uthan's private journals) that Chancellor Palpatine secretly decides not to fully destroy all evidence or experiments of the virus, but rather keeps it as a back-up strategy, should the clone army ever turn against him.
3. Collins' Syndrome: A mutating infection that often begins with discomfort and sensitivity in the victim's nipples, then forms a superficial tumor in the brain as it feeds on the genetic material of the brain cells, sapping away the victim's analytical skills and memory until it reaches its critical density, the tumor disbands into the bloodstream, the virus going into a type of hibernation, leaving its victim in a state of dormancy. The process is restarted until the virus detects that it has entered a new host due to variations in protein markers of the victims' cells.
4. Brittle Death(Gray): The disease is caused by infection with an alien agent known as "The color" by the story's characters, and it affects all alive, including plants, insects, livestock, wild animals, and humans. Plant symptoms include stunting or abnormally large growth with much tasteless fruit, abnormally-shaped flowers and leaves, shining in the dark with an indescribable color, and eventually losing their leaves and crumbling to gray dust. Insects become unusually bloated and formed before collapsing into grey dust. Hogs grow abnormally large with tasteless meat before wasting away and crumbling to grey dust, while cattle and horses show odd behavior before crumbling to grey powder. The disease causes "strange footprints in the snow" in some wild animals that are identifiable as recognized animals but are off in morphology and behavior, and rabbits have abnormally long strides. In humans, the disorder causes patients to gradually go crazy, seeing objects that are not there, talking incoherently, suffering memory loss, and eventually walking on all fours. The victim then starts to shine in the dark with an indescribable hue, becoming frail and thin before collapsing to grey dust.
5. Death Stench: Developed by the Imperial Japanese Army during WWII, this virus was intended to be used in conjunction with mechanical walking machines to transport infected hosts further towards enemies to be sickened. When the ship carrying the prototypes was sunk by allied aircraft, the Death Stench virus began spreading, synthesizing new walking machines by harvesting iron from shipwrecks until the present day, when vast quantities of infected sea life began entering the Kanto area. The Death Stench disease causes its hosts, which can range from fish to humans and other large mammals, to visibly bloat and begin releasing large amounts of virus-containing gas; when attached to a walking machine, this gas drives the machine's legs, which will remain active until its victim decays and is no longer able to create enough gas to drive the machine. The virus tends to be airborne, but it can also be contracted by being connected to a vacant walking machine; amputating a limb that has been attached to a smaller walking machine is the only way to escape, and even then, the machine can still use the limb as a 'power source.'
6. Hanahaki Disease: It is a fictitious disease in which the recipient of unrequited or one-sided love starts to vomit or cough up the petals and flowers of a flowering plant growing in their lungs, which will inevitably develop large enough to make breathing difficult if untreated. Other symptoms reported in the literature include fever, uncontrollable trembling, loss of appetite, low body temperature, and hallucinations. Even after treating, with or without surgery, there can be permanent lung damage, and in rare cases, the disease cannot be healed.
7. Inferno Virus (inferno novel): A virus that was spread through the air and incubated in water. It was released by the terrorist group the Consortium to kill half of humanity and reproduce with just one-third of ten immune people. The virus was based on the Black Death virus. Bertrand Zobrist, the virus's founder, originally intended for it to be a waterborne virus, but changed his mind because it could infect faster. The Inferno virus can infect humans through damp air and then make them infertile. The aim was for the infected to perish and mankind to become extinct.
8. Shiva: A genetically engineered strain of Ebola developed to aid a group of eco-terrorists in their goal of annihilating humanity.
9. Stone Sickness: Not a human disease, but one that affects humans and other Edge residents by targeting the rocks of the flight ships, which serve as the primary mode of transportation and communication on the Edge. As the rocks carry the flight ships aloft, industry and trade cease, resulting in a brief societal breakdown followed by a gradual reconstruction of civilization as the Edge's inhabitants become accustomed to life with Stone-sickness. Infected flight rocks exhibit symptoms such as a brief scar, followed by an open wound and a gaping hole as the rock dissolves. The skyship eventually falls out of the sky. There are several hypotheses about the origins of Stone-sickness. Some people point the finger at the gods. Others point the finger at Mother Storm, the enigmatic meteorological maker of the Edge. Some believe that the sky pirate captain Cloud Wolf, who died in the Mother Storm, poisoned her and caused the Stone-sickness. Only at the end of the series is it revealed that the disease was produced by the Gloamglozer and had been incubating inside the Stone Gardens since he fled the city of Sanctaphrax almost a century before the sickness.
10. Plague of Teen: Often referred to as the "worm." It is a mutagenic STD that causes grotesque mutations, such as the growth of extra body parts, all over the body. Only teenagers seem to be affected.
