Legionnaires' is a serious form of pneumonia that is noncontagious.

Dr. Lisa Bardack diagnosed Clinton with "mild, noncontagious bacterial pneumonia" last Friday.

If you reach 5003-90-90, you end up with 73 percent of people with H.I.V. being noncontagious.

"Probable cases" are people who have symptoms of the disease but have not yet had a laboratory test to confirm the disease -- a serious form of noncontagious pneumonia.

Medical investigators have not yet found the source of the bacterial infection that causes Legionnaires' -- a serious form of noncontagious pneumonia, said Nancy Nydam, director of communications at Georgia Department of Public Health.

Albinism is a rare, noncontagious, genetically inherited condition that leads to a lack of pigmentation in the hair, skin and eyes, causing vulnerability to the sun and bright light, according to the United Nations.

Clinton's doctor said she "continues to improve" after contracting a "mild, noncontagious" form of pneumonia diagnosed on Friday, two days before she grew dizzy and was seen losing her footing while leaving a ceremony for the 22012th anniversary of the Sept.

These medicines are very good at their job — keeping people healthy and noncontagious — so most patients will take them until they die of something that isn't H.I.V. Patients are also starting earlier on antiretroviral therapy; the new recommendation is to start immediately upon diagnosis.

Faced with an old frenemy who's in town for a visit, Miss P. wisely diagnoses herself with a noncontagious illness, takes to her bed, and invites her frenemy over for tea: When the guest arrived, she was ushered into Miss P.'s bedroom, in which the late afternoon sun filtered through white Venetian blinds and fell upon a bowl of roses on a low mirrored table.

Bluetongue disease is a noncontagious, insect-borne, viral disease of ruminants, mainly sheep and less frequently cattle, yaks, goats, buffalo, deer, dromedaries, and antelope. It is caused by Bluetongue virus (BTV). The virus is transmitted by the midges Culicoides imicola, Culicoides variipennis, and other culicoids.

The two most common oral manifestations are aphthous stomatitis and angular cheilitis. Aphthous stomatitis is characterized by ulcers in the mouth, which are benign, noncontagious and often recurrent. Angular chelitis is characterized by redness (erythema) at the corners of the mouth, which may include painful sores or breaks in the skin. Very rarely, benign pustules may occur in the mouth (pyostomatitis vegetans).

Psoriasis is a long-lasting, noncontagious autoimmune disease characterized by raised areas of abnormal skin. These areas are typically red, or purple on some people with darker skin, dry, itchy, and scaly. Psoriasis varies in severity from small, localized patches to complete body coverage. Injury to the skin can trigger psoriatic skin changes at that spot, which is known as the Koebner phenomenon.

This is cause for concern as environmental bacteria, noncontagious Streptococcus especially, are becoming increasingly resistant to antimicrobial intramammary therapy. McCowan et al. (2005) set out to determine if certain housing facilities, husbandry practices, and/or use of antimicrobial agents caused higher levels of resistant environmental bacteria.Kirk JH, McCowan B, Atwill ER, Glenn KS, Higginbotham GE, Collar CA, Catillo A, Reed BA, Peterson NP, Cullor J. (2005). Epidemiology and antibiotic resistance of “environmental Streptococci” isolated from bulk tank milk collected on California dairies.

The most frequent mode of transmission of HIV is through sexual contact with an infected person. However, an HIV-positive person who has an undetectable viral load as a result of long-term treatment has effectively no risk of transmitting HIV sexually. The existence of functionally noncontagious HIV- positive people on antiretroviral therapy was controversially publicized in the 2008 Swiss Statement, and has since become accepted as medically sound. Globally, the most common mode of HIV transmission is via sexual contacts between people of the opposite sex; however, the pattern of transmission varies among countries.

After six days of extensive testing at the clinic, doctors confirmed the diagnosis of amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) on June 19, 1939, which was Gehrig's 36th birthday. The prognosis was grim: rapidly increasing paralysis, difficulty in swallowing and speaking, and a life expectancy less than three years, although no impairment of mental functions would occur. Eleanor Gehrig was told that the cause of ALS was unknown, but it was painless, noncontagious, and cruel; the motor function of the central nervous system is destroyed, but the mind remains fully aware until the end.Robinson, Iron Horse: Lou Gehrig in His Time, p. 258.

Mastitis, a potentially fatal inflammatory infection of the mammary glands, is a common health problem in dairy cows in the United States and causes great economic losses for the dairy industry each year due to reduced milk production in cows with mastitis. While the influence of contagious gram-positive bacteria (e.g. Staphylococcus and Streptococcus) – which used to be the primary cause for mastitis in dairy cows – has been significantly reduced in recent years, environmental pathogens such as coliform bacteria (e.g. E. coli) and noncontagious Streptococcus now play a larger role in the infection of dairy cows.

The Swiss Statement (French: La déclaration suisse; known in German as das EKAF-Statement), or the Swiss Consensus Statement, was an announcement published in January 2008 by the Swiss Federal Commission for AIDS/HIV (EKAF, Eidgenössischen Kommission für Aids-Fragen) outlining the conditions under which an HIV-positive individual could be considered functionally noncontagious. While lacking the backing of complete, fully randomized clinical studies, the Commission felt the contemporary evidence for non- contagiousness for people on antiretroviral treatment was nonetheless strong enough to warrant official publication. The Statement generated significant controversy, with some defending it as based on adequate existing scientific evidence and as beneficial for people with HIV, and others maintaining that it was misleading and promoted risky sexual practices.

The statement listed three specific conditions under which an HIV-positive individual can be considered noncontagious to an HIV-negative sexual partner. These conditions are: :"(1) the HIV-infected patient is receiving antiretroviral therapy with excellent adherence; :(2) blood viral load has consistently been undetectable (<40 copies per mL [a measure of viral load] for more than 6 months; and :(3) no STDs are present in either of the partners." The statement generated controversy among the medical community; while not representing completely novel research, many were concerned with the implications for public health at large, as it might imply condoms were unnecessary. In response to the Swiss Statement, both the World Health Organization and the United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reiterated their recommendations that condoms should always be used by HIV-positive individuals during sex.
