@MickeySegal analogous question as for https://github.com/obophenotype/human-phenotype-ontology/issues/7836

MickeySegal commented 6 months ago

No, this is for infections that spread or occur in winter, e.g., bacterial meningitis, viral bronchiolitis.

@MickeySegal This term is a little difficult because it would be hard to keep users from applying the term to any disease that happens to occur in winter or summer. I think it is probably better to put a term such as History of onset in winter, so that it is clear that the term refers to one patient rather than being a characteristic of a disease. Throughts?

That is fine. In my pediatrics internship we did 2 rotations through infectious disease, one to get the summer infections and one to get the winter infections. Knowing the time of year made a huge difference to the diagnostic guesses.

In our software such findings are suggested by the Usefulness algorithm when appropriate.
