46. Chronic Fatigue & Fibromyalgia Site focuses on original, surveybased research regarding effectiveness of various treatments and classification of symptom patterns in chronic fatigue syndrome, myalgic encephalitis, and fibromyalgia. Visitors may respond to various surveys, thus contributing to knowledge of the condition. http://www.scientific-consultants.com/cfs-main.html

Chronic Fatigue and Fibromyalgia Symptoms, Treatments, Research Participate in our Survey-Based Research You can contribute to our knowledge of chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, and related syndromes by participating in statistical, survey-based studies. For this research, we need responses from those suffering from chronic fatigue syndrome (CFS), fibromyalgia (FM), ME, CFIDS, and related conditions. We also need data from healthy individuals, and from those with other medical conditions, to provide baselines and contrast. If you wish to participate in these investigations, there are several questionnaires that you may complete on-line. The data from these questionaires will help us determine which treatments may be effective for, and better delineate the key symptoms and nature of, CFS, FM, and related illnesses. All research findings will be posted on this site as soon as sufficient data are available for analysis. If you decide to participate in our research, here are some things you should know: All responses are completely anonymous. No information that can identify the respondent is ever recorded. Data sets are identified only by a unique ID Code created by and for the respondent, and known only to him or her, just like a password.

Summary: St. Louis encephalitis (SLE), named for the city where the first cases were recognized in 1933, is the most common variety of viral encephalitis in the USA. Most people who are infected with the virus never show any outward symptoms. Those who do exhibit symptoms face a very serious threat to life. The symptoms of SLE are generally flu-like, with fever, headaches and lethargy. Severe cases of SLE can cause seizures, double-vision, paralysis and death. The elderly and the young are most at risk from SLE. As many as 30% of elderly patients infected with SLE die. The agent that causes St. Louis encephalitis is a virus, thus antibiotic treatments are not effective. There is no vaccine for the virus and (like all viruses) there is no cure. Contact a Health Care Professional Immediately: Elderly and children who exhibit flu-like symptoms during a known outbreak of encephalitis should contact their Health Care Provider immediately. Source of Infection/Mode of Transmission: The virus that causes St. Louis encephalitis in humans is thought to occur naturally in birds. It is transmitted among birds and between birds and other animals by blood-feeding mosquitoes. The SLE virus is not known to cause disease in birds and once infected individual birds are immune to further infection. Significant quantities of the virus are evident in birds 1-2 days following infection with viral levels falling rapidly 1-3 days later. The virus is transmitted to man and other hosts by short-lived mosquitoes of the genus

Some links in the see also section at the bottom of this page are actually special database links. They may contain information published after this page was written. Classification AIDS Dementia Comples (ADS) is not a true opportunistic infection. It is one of the few conditions caused directly by the HIV virus. Description The central nervous system can be damaged by a number of things opportunistic infections; direct effects of HIV in the brain; toxic effects of drug treatments. Those with ADC have HIV-infected macrophages in the brain. That means HIV is actively infecting brain cells. Symptoms: Early symptoms of AIDS Dementia can be confused with general manifestations of clinical depression. These include apathy, loss of interest in one's surroundings and the like. Later symptoms involve cognitive and motor problems. Memory loss, as well as mobility problems, come into the picture.

It is transmitted by mosquitoes and in humans causes inflammation of the membranes around the brain. Intensification and expansion of irrigated rice production systems in South and South-East Asia over the past 20 years have had an important impact on the disease burden caused by Japanese encephalitis. Where irrigation expands into semi-arid areas, the flooding of the fields at the start of each cropping cycle leads to an explosive build-up of the mosquito population. This may cause the circulation of the virus to spill over from their usual hosts (birds and pigs) into the human population. The disease and how it affects people Japanese encephalitis (JE) is a disease caused by a flavivirus that affects the membranes around the brain. Most JE virus infections are mild (fever and headache) or without apparent symptoms, but approximately 1 in 200 infections results in severe disease characterized by rapid onset of high fever, headache, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, seizures, spastic paralysis and death. The case fatality rate can be as high as 60% among those with disease symptoms; 30% of those who survive suffer from lasting damage to the central nervous system. In areas where the JE virus is common, encephalitis occurs mainly in young children because older children and adults have already been infected and are immune.
