Haemolacria — The claim that 'Protein analysis of letters written by Vlad the Impaler has revealed evidence suggesting haemolacria' is not supported by credible historical or scientific evidence and appears to be invented.
Hematemesis — The 'DID YOU KNOW' section incorrectly states that 'Hematemesis is not found in stomach viruses such as norovirus or rotovirus.' Severe gastroenteritis from these viruses can cause hematemesis.

Influenza-like illness — The entry says 'The World Health Organization defines ILI as a fever of at least 38 °C and a cough that started within the last 10 days.' The correct WHO definition requires fever ≥38°C AND cough, with onset within the last 10 days, but it does not specify 'st

Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness — The entry states 'incidence of 15%–20%' but the correct term is prevalence, as PPPD is estimated to account for 15%–20% of chronic dizziness cases, not new cases.
Persistent postural-perceptual dizziness — The ICD-11 code for PPPD is AB32.0, but the entry says 'As of January, 2025, the condition is recognized...' — the ICD-11 was officially adopted by WHO in 2022, and PPPD was included in the 2018 release; the date January 2025 is not a relevant milestone for re
Macropsia — The entry states 'auditory function stops just before the visual distortion' in the Signs and symptoms section, but the DID YOU KNOW section says patients 'may experience a buzzing sound in the ears immediately before the visual distortion develops.' These are
