Answers
Answer:
Syndrome is a collection of symptoms, or problems in the body. Because the immune system is damaged, and cannot fight off disease, people with AIDS get a collection of symptoms which is referred to as the "Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome."Syndrome is a group of symptoms, signs, physical and physiological disturbances that are due to a common cause. AIDS is also a complex of diseases and symptoms which develop due to failure of the body to fight off even minor infections. HIV that causes AIDS damages immune system of the patient by destroying T4T4 lymphocytes. As a result, even small cold leads to development of pneumonia, a minor gut infection leads to severe diarrhoea and blood loss, while skin rashes develop into ulcers.
