Prazo: Systemic illness
Definição (em inglês simples):
A systemic illness is a condition that affects the whole body, not just one part.
Exemplos:
- Severe infections such as pneumonia or flu
- Autoimmune disorders (like lupus)
- Widespread diseases affecting multiple organs
Como isso se relaciona com as unhas:
When the body is under major stress from a systemic illness, the nail matrix (the growth centre of the nail) can slow down or stop temporarily. This may lead to nail signs such as Beau’s lines, ridges, or temporary nail shedding.
Confundível com:
Nail changes caused by trauma, medications, or chemotherapy, which can look very similar to systemic illness effects.
