Suggest deletion due to failing WP:N. I can find no reference to this disease in PubMed and the only source is self-published. Suggest delete. Basket of Puppies 06:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Keep Note yerm in usage in 1899.   found in a medical dictionary of 2004 (making it hard to see how it could not be found, to be sure). See also    and many more. Notable, findable, and not "only self-published" but found in actual medical literature. Collect (talk) 12:00, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
 * How interesting! I did not see it in the last two references, but I surely see that it is in the older medical book. When PubMed had nothing on it and google revealed little more than a self-published reference I had just assumed it was a non-notable eponym. Now I see that I have been proven otherwise, which I thank you for. Thus, I would like to withdraw this AfD. Basket of Puppies  19:26, 9 November 2009 (UTC)
