Biphasic disease

A biphasic disease is a disease which has two distinct phases or components. In clinically biphasic diseases, the phases are generally chronologically separated. In histopathologically biphasic tumors (also called biplastic tumors), there is neoplastic tissue which contains two different cellular elements.[1][2]

Examples

Clinically biphasic diseases

DiseaseTypical first phaseTypical second phase
European (or "Western") subtype of tick-borne encephalitis virus[3][4] Relatively mild flu-like illnessAffecting some cases, generally presenting with high fever and neurologic disease (encephalitis), meningitis and/or meningoencephalitis)
Leptospirosis[5] 4–9 days of abrupt onset of flu-like illnessFever, jaundice, abdominal pain and diarrhoea. Organ failure in severe cases.

Tumor biplasia

DiseaseCellular elements
Fibroadenoma[6] EpitheliumStroma
Ceruminous adenoma[7] Inner luminal secretory cellsMyoepithelial cells
