Introduction Ebola virus which causes Ebola hemorrhagic fever‚ was first recognized in 1976 in Zaire‚ now Democratic Republic of Congo‚ and Sudan. It is named after the river Ebola in Zaire. The virus has five known subtypes named after the location where they were first identified and caused disease: Ebola Sudan‚ Ebola-Bundibugyo‚ Ebola-Zaire‚ Ebola-Ivory Coast and Ebola-Reston. (CDC.gov) Ebola-Reston is the newest subtype and was identified in research macaques imported from Philippines

Name: Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Definition: Rheumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder. It affects the small joints of hands and feets‚ and the lining of joints that results in painful swelling. Swelling can cause bone erosion and joint deformity. RA is an autoimmune disorder‚ in which the immune system falsely attacks own body’s tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis not only causes a joint problem‚ but it can also affect the other organs of the body such as the skin‚ eyes‚ lungs‚ and blood

clinical features‚ diagnosis‚ and management of psoriasis are reviewed separately. Involvement of the immune system in psoriasis was first indicated in early studies that identified complex infiltrates of leukocytes involved in both innate and adaptive immunity in psoriatic skin [1‚2]. Subsequent studies have supported the concept that interactions between dendritic cells‚ T cells‚ keratinocytes‚ neutrophils‚ and the cytokines released from immune cells likely contribute to the initiation and perpetuation

leukocytes‚ called lymphocytes. There are two main types of lymphocytes‚ B cells and T cells‚ which are derived from hematopoietic stem cells in the bone marrow. T cells are involved in cell-mediated immune response‚ whereas B cells are involved in the humoral immune response. The surface of each lymphatic cell has receptors that enable them to recognize foreign substances. There are two major subtypes of T cells: the helper T cell and the killer T cell. Helper T cells are the major driving force and
