Catarrh and coryza

[Feras Hakkak]

Dear Soroush,

Thank you. I really had difficulty with catarrh and coryza!

Now some more questions:
Does coryza always accompany catarrh, i.e. isn’t it possible to have catarrh without coryza?
What is the difference between the rubrics “Nose-Catarrh” and “Nose-Coryza-Discharges; with”?
You wrote coryza is the inflammation. We have “Nose-Coryza”, “Nose-Inflammation” and “Nose-Coryza-Inflammation; with”. What are the differences?
Wishing you good health,

Feras Hakkak

Dear Feras
May I please try to give you an explanation that may clear up your confusion?
The following information comes from a dictionary of medicine etc dated 1900.

CATARRH
From a Greek word meaning .
In my dictionary from 1900, it is described as meaning:
"Inflammation of a mucous membrane, especially of the respiratory tract, but
also applied to the bladder, etc. Its main symptomms are redness and swelling
of the affected membrane wity a more or less profuse mucous discharge.
Epidemic catarrh = influenza
Gastric catarrh = gastritis, acute or chronic
Intestinal catarrh = enteritis, acute or chronic
Nasal catarrh = coryza
Pulmonary catarrh = bronchitis, acute or chronic
Suffocative catarrh = capillary bronchitis
Uterine catarrh = endometritis
Venereal catarrh = Gonorrhea
Vesical catarrh = cystitis
Catarrhal Fever = Influenza

CORYZA
This word comes from a Greek word that means . It
referrs to catarrh of the mucous membrane of the nasal passages and adjacent
sinuses, and popularly called "a cold in the head". Rhinitis/hayfever could be
covered by the term Vasomotor Coryza.

Dear Feras
This is from:Jay Yasgur
A Dictionary Of Homeopathic Medical Terminology

Catarrh
an increased mucus discharge from mucous membranes which have been inflamed by any variety of irritants. An increased secretion of mucus from the membranes of the nose, fauces, and bronchia with fever and attended sneezing, cough, thirst, lassitude and want of appetite. Two types: catarrhus a frigore (cold in the head), and catarrhus a contagione (the flu).
Catarrhal
increasing the flow of mucus.
Catarrhal fever
an archaic term for the common cold.

Coryza
(common cold, gravedo, rhinitis, nasal catarrh, cold in the head) an acute, mild upper respiratory infection which leads to invasion of the respiratory tract by pathogenic bacteria. It is usually short-lived yet highly contagious. The onset is marked by a chilly sensation followed by sneezing, watering of the eyes, nasal discharge, cough and a mild fever. It may simply refer to an increased discharge of mucus from the nose.
