German Scientists

The affected patients form antibodies that act destructive. The realised provisional analyses indicate that those antibodies bring about an increase of a coagulation factor that limits the sanguineous provision. Scientists German of the universities of Greifswald and Bonn have found indications that explain the gravity of the new stock of the bacterium ‘ E.coli’ and that brings about the formation of autoanticuerpos apparently, causes of the serious internal damages of the patients. Andreas Greinacher, expert in transfusions of the university of Greifswald, informed that everything seems to indicate that the patients affected by Sndrome Urmico Hemoltico (HUS), besides secreting the poison ” shigatoxina” , they form autoanticuerpos, that act destructive against their own organism. The realised provisional analyses indicate that those antibodies bring about an increase of a coagulation factor that limits the sanguineous provision important cerebral and renal regions. The autoanticuerpos are generated only by some patients affected by the infection of ‘ E.coli’ that they suffer, in the cases of greater gravity, alterations of conscience and epilepsies.

Greinacher indicated that four patients with a serious group of symptoms by the infection of ‘ E.coli’ they have been dealt in the university clinic of Greifswald with a dialysis that filters those antibodies and that ” the first developments of the sanguineous values make us be optimistas”. The German expert, who has carried out his analyses with Bernd Ptzsch, of the University of Bonn, commented that the causes are still not known of which those patients see affected of that way their own immunological system. He added that an altered operation of a protein has been verified, the call ” Factor Von Willebrand” , in the cerebral and renal blood vessels of those patients. Instead of to be disturbed in small fragments as it would be the normal thing, that protein ends up being accumulated and blocking the hair glasses, which leads to the clinical pictures of greater gravity. Greinacher and Ptzsch agree in indicating that autoanticuerpo it develops after contracting the disease, ” like in a moment to the five days of infeccin”.
