  • Viral Diseases

DEF

The virus that causes acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS).

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies virales
  • Immunologie
DEF

Virus responsable du sida.

Key term(s)
  • virus de l'immuno-déficience humaine

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Enfermedades víricas
  • Inmunología
DEF

Agente infeccioso determinante del síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida (SIDA).

OBS

El VIH pertenece a la familia de los retrovirus, lo cual significa que es capaz de invertir la dirección de la información que normalmente fluye del ADN [ácido desoxirribonucleico] al ARN [ácido ribonucleico], pero que en este caso lo hace en sentido inverso gracias a la transcriptasa inversa, introduciendo de esta manera su código genético y por medio de la integrasa lo "integra" al código de la célula CD4 [linfocito cooperador inductivo] infectada, lo que permite que ésta en lugar de multiplicarse, [produzca] nuevos virus llamados "viriones".

OBS

La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que sida no es lo mismo que VIH, pues sida es el nombre de la enfermedad, mientras que la sigla VIH (virus de inmunodeficiencia humana) designa al virus que la causa: se puede ser portador del virus y no padecer nunca la enfermedad.

Record 4 2014-10-17

English

Subject field(s)
  • Viral Diseases
  • Immunology
DEF

An epidemic, transmissible retroviral disease due to infection with human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), manifested in severe cases as profound depression of cell-mediated immunity ...

Key term(s)
  • acquired immuno-deficiency syndrome

French

Domaine(s)
  • Maladies virales
  • Immunologie
CONT

Le virus d'immunodéficience humaine (VIH) est le virus qui cause le syndrome d'immunodéficience acquise (sida). Le VIH attaque le système immunitaire, causant ainsi une maladie chronique progressive, rendant les gens atteints vulnérables aux infections opportunistes et aux cancers.

OBS

Au début, l'acronyme «sida» était écrit en majuscules. Aujourd'hui, il est généralement utilisé comme substantif, et s'écrit donc en minuscules.

OBS

Le terme «syndrome d'immunodéficience acquis» est à éviter. Selon la définition du CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention), c'est l'immunodéficience qui est acquise et non le syndrome.

Spanish

Campo(s) temático(s)
  • Enfermedades víricas
  • Inmunología
DEF

Enfermedad causada por el VIH [virus de inmunodeficiencia humana], virus que destruye los linfocitos denominados T4 [timodependientes 4] o células helper (células que protegen al organismo de infecciones y de algunos tipos de cáncer).

OBS

[Cuando se hace referencia al sida], se habla de un conjunto de síndromes, como el síndrome de insuficiencia respiratoria, síndrome de mala absorción intestinal, síndrome meníngeo y otros más, habitualmente con predominio de uno de ellos. "Inmunodeficiencia" significa que el sistema inmunitario está disminuido y no es capaz de defender eficazmente al organismo contra el ataque de microorganismos y "adquirida" significa que no se transmite por herencia, no es congénita y tampoco aparece por el envejecimiento, sino que se obtiene por alguna de las tres formas de transmisión que son vía sanguínea, sexual y perinatal.

OBS

sida: La Fundación del Español Urgente (Fundéu BBVA), con el asesoramiento de la Real Academia Española, indica que la palabra "sida", que procede de la sigla SIDA (síndrome de inmunodeficiencia adquirida), está lexicalizada (como láser u ovni) y se escribe con minúscula por ser el nombre común de una enfermedad, como gripe o diabetes.

Record 6 2013-04-02

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

The incidence of lymphomas is unusually high in human immunodeficiency virus(HIV)-infected patients. Because cytotoxic T lymphocytes(CTL) represent a major mechanism of the antitumoral immune response in immunocompetent individuals, we asked wheter intratumoral activation of CTL was impaired in acquired immune deficiency syndrome(AIDS) lymphomas.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Il tenta d'infecter par des bactéries des personnes souffrant de cancer et mit au point un vaccin, composé de bactéries tuées, capable d'induire une réaction immunitaire antitumorale. Ces traitements immunothérapeutiques (ils luttent contre la maladie en utilisant les défenses de l'organisme) ont été efficaces chez certains individus, mais l'incohérence des résultats a restreint leur utilisation.

English

Subject field(s)
  • Immunology
CONT

Complement deficiency and immune complex disease. Immune complex diseases closely resembling systemic lupus erythematosus are predominantly associated with deficiencies of classical pathway components.

OBS

Deficiency of a component of the complement system can lead to frequent infection and, interestingly, autoimmune disease. C1Q, C1R, C1S, C2, C4 and C5 deficiencies have been described with susceptibility for infection and autoimmune disease.

French

Domaine(s)
  • Immunologie
CONT

Déficit en complément. [...] Quand il existe un déficit en C2, l'incidence du lupus érythémateux disséminé est plus forte.

OBS

Des cas de déficits ont été observés pour tous les composants du complément (hormis pour le D et le C4bp). Les plus importants sont les déficits en composants de la voie classique du fait de leur association à des manifestations auto-immunes [...] et le déficit en CI-inh responsable de l'oedème angioneurotique, maladie grave et curable.
