Have you heard of the disease illingo?

Natalie K,

I know of no known disease with this spelling in English. The nearest that am aware of to this spelling, in any medical context, is the word 'illingo' meaning to lick up and 'Illinctus' which both come from the word linctus which itself comes from the word 'lingo' - to lick. Also, along the same lines, the nervous system-specific leucine-rich repeat Ig-containing protein LINGO-1 is associated with the Nogo-66 receptor complex and is endowed with a canonical EGF receptor (EGFR)-like tyrosine phosphorylation site. However no disease comes to mind with the specific spelling that you quote. This doesn't mean that there is not a disease of this name.

Hope this helps
