प्रश्न
Why is AIDS considered to be a ‘Syndrome’ and not a disease?
उत्तर
HIV (Human immunodeficiency virus) that causes AIDS comes into the body via., the sexual organs or any other means like blood transfusion will spread^to lymph nodes all over the body. The virus damages the immune system of the body and due to this, the body can no longer fight off many minor infections. Instead, every small cold can become pneumonia, or a minor gut infection can become severe diarrhoea with blood loss.
The effect of the disease becomes very severe and complex, at times killing the person suffering from AIDS. Hence there are no specific disease symptoms for AIDS but it results in complex diseases and symptoms. Therefore, it is known as a syndrome.
