Enterovirus page edits -- Hip (talk) 02:11, October 8, 2019 (EDT)[edit source | reply | new]

Hi Commonlyknownasryan

You have added things to the enterovirus page which are medically incorrect. There is no evidence that acute enterovirus infections can cause fibromyalgia, small fiber peripheral neuropathy, metabolic acidosis, irritable bowel syndrome, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, craniocervical instability, tethered cord syndrome, ehlers-danlos syndrome, interstitial cystitis. So why did you add these to the list of acute enterovirus symptoms?

you are nuts and you are medically incorrect

there is evidence it can lead to all those things

You also added "herpangina" and "mouth ulcer" to the respiratory symptoms of acute enterovirus, but these are already included under oral symptoms.

You added "sore throat", but this is already present as "pharyngitis".

Not also that you added "peyer's patches" as an enterovirus symptom, but this is an organ, not a symptom.

If you want to edit MEpedia, make sure the information you add is factually correct, and is backed up by medical references. For every fact that you add to MEpedia, you need to provide a scientific reference.

I am going to revert you changes shortly, because the changes you made are incorrect. Hip (talk) 02:11, October 8, 2019 (EDT)

Ryan, in an encyclopedia such as MEpedia, you can only include things which are proven to be true. You may personalty suspect that enterovirus might cause things like craniocervical instability or interstitial cystitis, but unless there is published scientific evidence demonstrating that it can, then you cannot include this in MEpedia. You have to be able to provide a published scientific references (citations) for every statement that you make in MEpedia.
Have a look at the Science Guidelines for writing MEpedia articles. Note that in these guidelines it points out that "Even if you are certain it is true, if you can't cite it, you can't say it."
