The new disease doesn’t affect those cells, but causes a different kind of damage. Browne’s study of more than 200 people in Taiwan and Thailand found that most of those with the disease make substances called autoantibodies that block interferon-gamma, a chemical signal that helps the body clear infections.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EBlocking that signal leaves people like those with AIDS – vulnerable to viruses, fungal infections and parasites, but especially micobacteria, a group of germs similar to tuberculosis that can cause severe lung damage. Researchers are calling this new disease an “adult-onset” immunodeficiency syndrome because it develops later in life and they don’t know why or how.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“Fundamentally, we do not know what’s causing them to make these antibodies,” Browne said.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EAntibiotics aren’t always effective, so doctors have tried a variety of other approaches, including a cancer drug that helps suppress production of antibodies. The disease quiets in some patients once the infections are tamed, but the faulty immune system is likely a chronic condition, researchers believe.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe fact that nearly all the patients so far have been Asian or Asian-born people living elsewhere suggests that genetic factors and something in the environment such as an infection may trigger the disease, researchers conclude.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003EThe first cases turned up in 2004 and Browne’s study enrolled about 100 people in six months.\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E“We know there are many others out there,” including many cases mistaken as tuberculosis in some countries, she said.\u003C\/span\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Trebuchet MS\u0026quot;,sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Trebuchet MS\u0026quot;,sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E\u003Cdiv style=\"font-family: \u0026quot;Trebuchet MS\u0026quot;,sans-serif;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: small;\"\u003E\u003Cbr \/\u003E\u003Ci\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-size: x-small;\"\u003E\u003Cspan style=\"font-family: Georgia,\u0026quot;Times New Roman\u0026quot;,serif;\"\u003ESource : http:\/\/healthland.time.com\/2012\/08\/22\/mysterious-new-aids-like-disease-affects-in-asians\/\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/i\u003E\u003C\/span\u003E\u003C\/div\u003E"},"link":[{"rel":"replies","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.healthinfo.co.vu\/feeds\/6602608695377308609\/comments\/default","title":"Post Comments"},{"rel":"replies","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.healthinfo.co.vu\/2012\/08\/mysterious-new-aids-like-disease.html#comment-form","title":"0 Comments"},{"rel":"edit","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6669564525403517433\/posts\/default\/6602608695377308609"},{"rel":"self","type":"application/atom+xml","href":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/feeds\/6669564525403517433\/posts\/default\/6602608695377308609"},{"rel":"alternate","type":"text/html","href":"http:\/\/www.healthinfo.co.vu\/2012\/08\/mysterious-new-aids-like-disease.html","title":"Mysterious New AIDS-Like Disease Affects Asians"}],"author":[{"name":{"$t":"Anonymous"},"uri":{"$t":"http:\/\/www.blogger.com\/profile\/13300808924321414623"},"email":{"$t":"noreply@blogger.com"},"gd$image":{"rel":"http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail","width":"16","height":"16","src":"https:\/\/img1.blogblog.com\/img\/b16-rounded.gif"}}],"media$thumbnail":{"xmlns$media":"http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/","url":"http:\/\/3.bp.blogspot.com\/-_5jGU7lZxGY\/UDcBQnAVzVI\/AAAAAAAAGzc\/Zbl80a-3TRk\/s72-c\/aids-hiv-ribbon.jpg","height":"72","width":"72"},"thr$total":{"$t":"0"}}]}});
