These two entities have been found on multiple sclerosis patients. Although the location and clinical manifestations of these diseases are very different, their immune response patterns present many similarities. This article examines the immune pathology of inflammatory bowel disease and its relationship to the immunological behavior of multiple sclerosis.展开更多

The disease develops as a consequence of intolerance to gluten on individuals with genetic susceptibility. It originates as a result of the interaction between genetic and environmental factors, on individuals predisposed, through a faulty immune system response to prolamin derived peptides. Usually the diagnosis is established based on clinical suspicion, either within a suspicious family group context or in patients with suggestive manifestations of this disease.展开更多

Whether isolated or associated to retroviral therapy, the relationship of JC Virus to HIV allowed us to delve a little deeper into the knowledge of its behavior. Now as new immune-modulating and immune-suppressing therapies are developed, its clinical expression has become broader and more complexly, thereby our need is to develop more precise diagnosis and therapeutic plans.展开更多
