(AIDS): (Acquired Immune Deficiency)= it is a viral disease caused by the virus called the Human Immunodeficiency virus (HIV) which destroys a subgroup of lymphocytes, the helper T-cells ( CD4 lymphocytes) resulting the suppression of the body`s immune.
AIDS is essentially a sexually transmitted disease, either homosexually or heterosexually. The other two main routes of spread are via infected blood or blood products and by maternofetal route. The virus can be transmitted from an infected mother to her child in the uterus or it may be acquired from maternal blood during parturition: it may also be transmitted in breast milk.
Acute infection following exposure to the virus results the production of antibodies (Seroconvesion), their presence indicating that infection has taken place. However, not all those who seroconvert progress to chronic infection. For those who do enter a chronic stage there may be illness of varying severity, Including persistent generalizing involvement of lymph node: what is termed AIDs related complex (ARC), including intermittent feve, weight loss, diarrhoea, fatigue and night sweats and AIDS itself, presenting an opportunitic infections (especially Pneumonia caused by Pneumocystis carinit) and/or tumours, such as Kaposi`s sarcoma.
The development of antiviral drug initially used singly but more recently used in duel or triple combinations, may well modify the gloomy outlook. These drugs include the reverse transcriptase inhibitors and protease inhibitors.
