Some upper respiratory diseases are not classified as infectious diseases about humandiseaseontology HOT 5 OPEN

These are both children of 'upper respiratory tract disease' (DOID:974) that for some reason are indeed lacking classification as infectious diseases. We should probably check other children of this disease to determine if they are also affected by this issue.

'common cold' is caused by more than 200 viruses in a variety of different taxonomic groups. I added https://medlineplus.gov/commoncold.html as a reference supporting the definition and the subClassOf axiom 'has material basis in' some Viruses to indicate it's causative agent. It will now be classified appropriately as a 'viral infectious disease' via reasoning.

'scarlet fever' is one of a number of diseases caused by Group A Strep, most commonly Streptococcus pyogenes. NCBITaxon has an unclassified Streptococcus sp. 'Group A' but given it has no definition and many sources treat S. pyogenes as equivalent with Group A strep, particularly with regard to scarlet fever, the following axiom has been used to classify it as a child of 'bacterial infectious disease' (DOID:104): 'has material basis in' some 'Streptococcus pyogenes'.

'laryngeal tuberculosis' (DOID:0050598) is also not classified as an infectious disease and needs to be classified as a descendant of tuberculosis.

On review, it looks like a number of updates to tuberculosis and its descendants are needed. I'll open a new issue for the review to avoid cluttering this one.
