Lazar's Disease is a contagious and eventually fatal disease. These victims are referred to as Lazars. It can be transported by air, but touch is a much more effective carrier. When infected, the victim becomes exhausted and confused. Eventually, they take on a pale and haggard appearance and become even more weakened. This disease can drag on, with the Lazar becoming even weaker and more sickly, until they eventually die.
- Though the Doctor, Nyssa, Kari and Olvir all were in a similar situation while on Terminus, only Nyssa was infected. This may be due to a natural immunity or just luck.
Lazar's disease can be staved off with repeated doses of hydromel or cured with controlled doses of radiation.
