What do you need to include?
- Demographics (who gets and how many have the disease)
- Signs/Symptoms
- Causes
- Treatments
- Prognosis (outcome)
What might help you frame your research?
- Is it an acute or chronic condition?

- Are there more specific variations of this condition?
- Is there more than one name for this condition?
