Well, it's stil out there. I remember having it and thinking at the time (I was probably seven or eight) what a pretty word it was.
Malaria is a pretty disease name too.
So is influenza and it has to do with the moon.
So's diarrhea, so's rubella ... I draw the line at pellagra.
This reminds me of a book by Cormac McCarthy called "Child of God." There's a family who run the town dump and there's like twelve daughters, all named from a medical book their father found in the trash. So there's Urethra, Sara Bella, and Hernia Sue, among others.

I thought Rubella was a pretty disease name as well.
