Capitalization? - Blupencl
Posted: Mar 23, 2012
Hello, all. I am working a new job - now all of a sudden, after MANY years as an MT, I can't find a reference to capitalizing "candida esophagitis".
I am limited by my platform to sites I can visit. That's why I am here.

According to Stedmans Candida is capitalized. Candidal is not. Hope this helps.

It does help. I have seen references to both ways and I am SO limited in what I can look at - I was tickled to be able to get in this site. Thank you.

When I worked for Signal (later it was MDI-MD) and was on the Johns Hopkins Hospital acct (where the QA director was an MD and the QA manager was a former MASH nurse previosly stationed in Korea), we were told this:
Genus name alone: no need to capitalize.
Genus name with species name: Capitalize genus name, lower case species name.
I have found that to be true in the scientific community regarding birds as well.

Department Capitalization Aug 23, 2012I have been going back and forth on this, but doc says, "He was also found to be hypertensive. Patient's hypertension was managed by *anesthesia* and a 12-lead EKG was obtained."
My gut is wanting to capitalize anesthesia to show that it was the anesthesiologists in the Anesthesia Department who managed the hypertension rather than anesthesia itself, but then again, maybe not?

Capitalization - Department Is Used As An Entity Aug 30, 2011I have always been under the impression that when a department is used as an entity, such as "The patient was seen by the Pulmonary Department," that it would be capitalized. If it were "The patient was seen in the pulmonary department," it would not be capitalized. This is to denote that in the first example, the patient was actually seen by a person, not by the department itself (a thing). I think this is an important distinction for clarity.
The account I am on is saying that pulmo ...
