Caps

Should the word "disease" be capitalized in the following sentence?

We are looking for Wegener disease.

Thanks!

Hi, Sometimes it is, and sometimes it isn't. I would use a capital, as it is considered the full and proper name of the disease. ( Actually, the term Wegener's Granulomatosis seems to be more common.
