List of MeSH codes (C15)
List of MeSH codes (C15) refers to a comprehensive categorization within the Medical Subject Headings (MeSH) system, specifically focusing on the domain of Hemic and Lymphatic Diseases. MeSH is a hierarchical controlled vocabulary used for indexing articles for the PubMed database. It facilitates searching by assigning standardized headings to topics. The C15 category encompasses diseases related to the blood, blood-forming organs, and disorders involving the immune mechanism. This article provides an overview of the subcategories and specific MeSH codes under the C15 classification.
