It seems that allergies can cause or at least are associated with autoimmune inner ear disease. Observation suggests there is a genetic component as autoimmune diseases seem to cluster in...

Hepatitis c virus is a small virus. The Hepatitis C virus (HCV) is a small (50 nm in size), enveloped, single-stranded, positive sense RNA virus in the family Flaviviridae. HCV mainly replicates within hepatocytes in the liver, although there is controversial evidence for replication in lymphocytes or monocytes. Circulating HCV particles bind to receptors on the surfaces of hepatocytes and subsequently enter the cells. Two putative HCV receptors are CD81 and human scavenger receptor class B1 (SR-BI). However, these receptors are found throughout the body. The identification of hepatocyte-specific cofactors that determine observed HCV liver tropism are currently under investigation.

(could take 10 years or more) During that period, HIV develops to become AIDS, and infected people can transmit the virus to others. This is the most dangerous point about AIDS or HIV. Because a HIV-infected person may seem well-looking, while he is actively transmitting virus to other people. If HIV is not treated or detected, it will rapidly develop and the infected immune system will weaken, at the latest stage it is called AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). Symptoms of AIDS As I said, symptoms will only occur if HIV is developed into AIDS...

The ethmoid sinuses are one of the two smaller pairs of sinuses in the human skull, the other one being the sphenoidal sinus. These are located in the area between the eye sockets, just right above the nose. It is the collective term used for the group of 6 to 12 very thin-walled and air-filled spaces the size of a matchbox that are enclosed inside the ethmoid bone. These spaces, otherwise referred to as cells or bubbles, are lined with a thin layer of mucous membrane that is connected to the nasal cavity.
