Next to the disease you could list the prime symptoms, so noobs can identify what they are suffering from. For example, I do not know the difference between Maroon Fever and Big Box, but if I saw the symptoms in your post I could contact you and request treatment for the proper ailment.
I thought about listing the diseases symptoms but there are a few issues.
All diseases have the same symptoms, it comes down to which is more frequent to come up with what disease it is...BUT ALSO it is hard to tell early on, just because your guy coughs doesn't mean the one cure meant for the cough is the cure. So either have to guess or let the disease worsen for the more frequent symptom to arise (which I refuse to do to anyone, they want cured I cure them then and there).
Be a shame to see a player with a disease and ends up coughing and thinks the cure is ends uses up all the medical items that cures that disease thinking it's that cure...it takes more then 1 doses in most cases, sometimes it takes a lot of doses to cure. As you can tell if a player takes that guess and it isn't working, he wasted the supplies AND player is slowly getting worse.
However I suppose I could post the major symptom to cure...but I don't want people saying I am giving false info when they don't cure themselves.
I.E "It said this cures that one with the cough, I took 12 doses and its not working!" situation.
