Interesting in- and outpatient attendances at Hogwarts Infirmary and St Mungo's Hospital for magical maladies

Ann Acad Med Singap. 2006 Feb;35(2):127-9.

Abstract

Ailments afflicting wizarding folk are underreported in the muggle world. The recent integration of muggles and magical folk with the return of You-Know-Who (aka He Who Must Not Be Named) may result in a similar affliction of inhabitants of both worlds. We describe interesting maladies afflicting muggles and wizarding folk alike, arising from the use and misuse of magic. We also provide a basic glossary of magical ailments, and describe their muggle corollaries. Further studies will hopefully result in the development of immunity against the unforgivable curses.
