What else can I help you with?
Why would a person with aids be in more danger from a common cold?
aids attacks white blood cells
What can happen if the white blood cells are not able to stop invading pathogens?
AIDs.
What is the function of a fetal pig's spleen?
Filters blood, recycles old red blood cells, aids in the production of new white blood cells
Aids is loses white cells then why don't they give them the disease that makes too much?
It's not that they lose the white blood cells, it's that the white blood cells are actually infected with AIDS. If they got the disease where they made too much, then more white blood cells would just get infected. The overall effect would be the same. The white blood cells can't kill HIV/AIDS because the virus is changing so much that your body can't really recognize it. Besides, histiocytosis (the disease where your body makes an excess of white blood cells) would probably just complicate the situation.
What does AIDS impair?
AIDS stands for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It attacks white blood cells and damages your immune system.
What parts of the body does AIDS effect?
AIDS doesnt affect a specific part of the body. AIDS is a diagnosis given to an HIV+ person who exhibits qualifying clinical criteria. HIV is the virus that causes AIDS and attacks cells associated with immune function, broadly speaking, white blood cells.
What is the significance of a CD4 count?
The CD4 count is a test that determines the amount of white blood cells in the body. It is used to figure out the progression of HIV and AIDS. The white blood cells fight infection.
How does aids affect a person's lifestyle?
AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome) is a diagnosis given to an HIV+ indivudual after they present certain clinical criteria. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS. HIV attacks the part of the body that fights disease, the white blood cells known as T-cells or CD4s. Over the course of a person's HIV infection, there is greater amounts of virus over time and fewer amounts of health disease fighting cells. When the number of white blood cells drops below a certain point, that person is diagnosed with AIDS.
What kingdom is aids in?
It is not in any of the kingdom because AIDS is a disease. However, for your further information, you will have HIV; which is a deadly virus that kills your white blood cells and T-cells, before you get AIDS which is the disease! Hope that helped! =D
Is there any information out there not aids about Autoimmune white blood cells attacking other white blood cells?
Nothings pops up immediately, (autoimmunity specifically directly against white blood cells). But in AIDS (HIV disease) there isn't an autoimmune reaction either. It's HIV attacking (a.o) CD4 T-cells, which leads to an immunodeficiency. CD8 T-cells and NK-cells will undoubtedly kill infected CD4 T-cells, but this is the normal immune reaction, which will happen to all (most) infected nucleated cells.
Does aids affect memory cells?
no
Which blood cells are NOT involved in AIDS?
AIDS is a condition that is a reflection of a person's immune function and has no impact on any cells of the body. HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) is the virus that causes a person to develop AIDS. HIV attacks blood cells that are associated with immune function. Red blood cells would be an example of cells unaffected by HIV. HIV attacks immune cells because it needs them to replicate. The more the virus replicates the more new virus is introduced into the system and more white blood cells are then affected.
