New Disease Found with Similar Symptoms of AIDS

TEMPO.CO, Atlanta - An American study shows there is a new disease that emerged since 2004. This disease has plagued some people in America and Asia. Strangely, the disease has symptoms similar to AIDS. 

Although symptoms such as AIDS, but doctors and researchers are not sure if the disease originated from HIV. The reason is, first, the disease does not move like a human with the HIV virus. Second, specifically HIV virus attacks the immune system and very quickly kills T cells "But illness is not doing it," writes Gwinnett Daily Online, Monday, August 27, 2012. 

Diseases like AIDS does not directly attack the immune system. But slowly, the sufferers will experience damage to their immune systems. As a result, they are no longer able to fend off infections that enter the body. 

 Unlike healthy people in general. "This disease is another type of Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome (AIDS). Occurred in adults and not decrease." According to researchers, the size adults can suffer from this disease are those over the age of 50 years. And, based on your medical history, the disease is usually experienced only one person in a family. 

There was no transmission of the disease or a decrease in the patient's family. During this time, the majority of patients with these infections live in Asia. But how many of those who suffer therefore, can not be known. For patients who died were often associated with various diseases. 

In 2009, a Vietnamese woman who had been living in Tennessee, USA, since 1975, returned to his hometown in 1995. Around mid-2009, he had a continuous fever and infection. When it's 62 years old. In a short time, an infection that attacks the bones and cause many strange symptoms. His weight had dropped dramatically. From 45 kilograms to 31 kilograms. 

Until now, researchers and doctors do not yet know the cause of the infection. They are still learning. However, the researchers believe that many patients who have undergone this case. It's just not a lot of doctors are aware of it.
