This article is rated as start class. Currently it is well written, neutrally fact-based, and easy to understand, with appropriate and reliable references. The content of the article is relevant to the topic but is heavily missing much more information to adequately describe the disease. It needs much updating and more information added to present a complete picture of the topic. I will prioritize updating the “causes,” “diagnosis,” and adding a “treatment” section. Additionally, I also plan to add more information to round out the lead section, “signs and symptoms” and “risk factors” sections. I intend to look up published systemic review papers and medical societies’ most recent guidelines. Explicitly included information would be most commonly agreed upon information across different sources, as well as most recent recommendations from recognized medical organizations. The cited sources will be referenced with valid links. Knn0059 (talk) 21:10, 1 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
