| | | | autoimmune diseases: Encyclopedia II - Common misconceptions about HIV and AIDS - HIV was introduced to North America by a Canadian flight attendant A Canadian airline steward named Gaëtan Dugas was referred to as "Patient O" (for "Out of California") in an early AIDS study by Dr William Darrow of the Centers for Disease Control.

This rumor may have started with Randy Shilts' 1987 book And The Band Played On (and the movie based on it, where Dugas is referred to as AIDS' Patient Zero), but neither the book nor t ...

| | | | autoimmune diseases: Encyclopedia II - Behçet's disease - Diagnosis There is no specific pathological test for Behçet’s disease at present. It is diagnosed clinically by specific patterns of symptoms and repeated outbreaks. Other causes for these symptoms have to be ruled out before making the diagnosis. The symptoms do not have to occur together, but can have happened at any time.
There are three levels of certainty for diagnosis:
International Study Group diagnostic guidelines (very strict for research purposes)
Practical clinical diagnosis (generally agreed pattern but not so strict)
'Suspected' or 'Possible' di ...

When faced with joint pain, a doctor will generally ask about several other medical symptoms (such as fever, skin symptoms, breathlessness, Raynaud's phenomenon) that may narrow down the differential diagnosi ...
