The HIV white blood cells. Connection between HIV and WBC:
Most of the HIV and the WBC syndrome follow the route of blood transfusion, mother to foetus, multiple partners even seen through homosexuals. The HIV stands for the Human Immuno Virus that affects the T-lymphocytes of the body and retard the immunity against the virus. The T -lymphocytes produces the antigens against the foreign bodies that are called the cell-mediated immunity. The normal Cd4
count is somewhere around 500 to 1500 cells per cubic millimeter. A normal T-cell ratio is 0.9 to 0.6. This is around 32% to 68% of the body lymphocytes. Majority of the HIV positive have The T-cells count below 350.
Pathogenicity:
The disease originated from the viral infection. On the entry into the body the HIV attaches itself to the WBC called the CD4 also called the T-4 cells. After injecting the T-cells, the HIV injects its RNA into the cell. The RNA gets attached to the DNA of the hosts' cell and enters his genetic constitution. These cells then enter the blood stream, get attached to other CD4 cells and continue the process of replication. As a result, the number of the virus in the blood rises and number in the CD4 cells declines. Bacteria, fungi and parasites also cause the opportunistic infections.
Symptoms:
Early symptoms are-fever, diarrhea, headaches, tiredness, nausea, enlarged lymph nodes. The Later symptoms are lack of energy, weight loss, sweating, whitish coating on the tongue due to yeast infection, chronic pelvic inflammatory diseases, recurring vaginal infections, bruising more easily than normal. There are periods of continued and longer coughing, unusual skin rash, bouts of diarrhea, vulnerability of cancerous outgrowths. Swelling and the hardening of glands in the groin, armpit and the throat. There is lightheadedness, dizziness and appearance of the discolored patterns on the screens. There is bleeping of the mucous membranes, loss of consciousness, and mental degradation loss of body weight by ten percent (10%) and loss of sensation partially or paralysis. The social urge to be resilient and be able to control the rising rate of the diseases is the way out of it.
Blood Cell Cancer- Cellular disorder
Blood is a circulating tissue composed of fluid plasma and cells. It carries nourishment and oxygen to the various tissues and takes away carbon dioxide and wastes. Whole blood is a mixture of blood cells and plasma. The blood cells include...
Red Blood Cell Life Cycle - 120 days Short Cover.
The life span of a R.B.C in the blood stream is 120 days. The red blood cells lack a nucleus thus further production of any new cellular component is not possible. The production of R.B.C. requires four days. The factors affecting the stimulation of...

Overview: The stem cell transplants feature a lot of aspects like the bone marrow stem cells, peripheral blood stem cells and umbilical cord blood stem cell. The transplantation of the haempoeitic stem cell is a treatment to get back the body's...
Cord blood stem cell therapy- New Techniques to Replace Disease
What are stem cells? Stem cells are unspecialized cells in the human body. They have two important characteristics that distinguish them from other cells in the body. They can replenish their numbers for long periods through cell division. And...
