Ok, so I'm doing fairly well. 54 dwarves, 13 dwarf military (one squad of 4 veterans, and 4 and 5 of newbies lead by a veteran). I have most of the first cavern layer blocked off except for a small area for farming. Then a FB shows up. A shelled theropod with noxious secretions. I've never fought one before, so I tunnel down into the caverns outside my enclosure and station my veterans near the entrance. The beast comes up, my dwarves kill it, no major injuries, and immediately start vomiting profusely from the secretions. I go back 10 minutes later, and all my dwarves internal organs are yellow. All of them. And their eyes. Any idea how the vomiting caused so much damage?

It's probably a syndrome that also causes necrosis.

"Noxious secretions."

They're rotting from the inside out, terrible way to go.

I assume your chief medical dwarf is on hand to diagnose the situation.  He'll probably tell you it's not Lupus.

I had something like that happen, but in my case the dwarves eventually stopped vomiting and the syndrome wore off leaving them otherwise fine.  They still had lasting dizziness, numbness, and a slight fever and all their body parts were slightly damaged, but it appears to have done nothing in the long term except slow them down a little and have a flashing X on them at all times.

Yeah. For now they appear to be alright. No debilitating damage and they seem to have stopped getting worse. It would really suck if they died, since they make up the only real fighting force I have.

It's NEVER lupus.
