Question

Explain why AIDS is considered to be a 'syndrome' and not a desease

Answer 1

AIDS is caused by virus called as HIV (Human Immunodeficiency Virus) which kills the immune cells of our body (Helper T Cells). These helper T cells are responsible for production of antibodies from B cells (Antibody producing cells) to fight different infections and pathogens. So when person is infected with HIV, his immunity to fight against different pathogens is much lowered as a result different types of viral and bacterial pathogens can invade his body and different types of diseases and infections, affecting different body parts and organs can be developed. So AIDS is not a single disease but a group of disease. That’s why it is called as syndrome.
