Answer 2

I don't know if you have any particular type of disease in mind. There are a lot of related diseases.

One example is: URI, bronchiolitis, bronchitis, viral pneumonia. All four are viral infections of the respiratory system.

Another example is: Tinea corporis, tinea capitis, tinea barbae, and tinea cruris. They are all dermatophyte infections of the skin.

Another example is: Coronary artery disease, adenocarcinoma of the lung, thromboangiitis obliterans, COPD. They are all diseases for which the risk is increased in smokers.

Another example is: onychomycosis, psoriasis, cystic fibrosis, cirrhosis. They can all affect the appearance of your fingernails (thickening/discoloration, pitting, clubbing, and whiting of the nail bed, respectively).

There are, of course, many more examples. I hope that helps.
