Iverson's Disease

A deadly illness known to strike several Humanoid species, among them Humans and Betazoids. Named for the Human who first contracted it, it remains one of the more conspicuous failures of twenty-fourth-century medicine. Iverson’s disease is a debilitating, degenerative condition for which there is no known cure. Thankfully non-contagious, the disorder attacks muscle fibre and other connective tissues, resulting in the progressive atrophy of limbs and vital organs.
