 Not a bad idea.  Just as a note, not all diseases must mimic real world
diseases.  For example, a disease that drains mana could certainly be added.

 Some diseases could also mutate based on certain things.  As an example, maybe
one that drains mana just does that at a slow rate until it has drained so much
mana, and then it turns into something else.

 Likewise, the idea of beneficial diseases could be interesting (ever see red
dwarf and the 'luck virus'?)   Of course, cure disease could not tell the
difference between a good and bad disease, so it could make a tough call on
whether you want cure disease to remove all your diseases.

 And just as another note - body parts should probably become infected with
some disease after a certain amount of time (decaying food is not good for
you).
