Diseases May be
Caused by Human
Anti-Body Cells
Chicago - (Science Service)
-More and more evidence is
piling up to support the theory
that the body's infection
fighting mechanism itself may
be able to cause diseases, an
editorial in the Journal of the
American Medical Associa
tion asserts. .
Normally, the antibody-
producing cells serve as front
line' defense against disease,
but abnormal cells may be
able to cause a chronic and
sometimes fatal disorder
known as Red Wolf disease
or systemic lupus erythema'
tosus (SLE).
Quoting Dr. William Dame-
shek, professor of medicine,
Tufts University School of
Medicine, Boston, the editorial
said the evidence seems con
vincing" and may mark "the
beginning of a new era" in de
fining the causes of other dis
eases, such as rheumatoid
arthritis. Addison's disease
and chronic pancreatitis.
The symptoms of Red Wolf
disease include fever, arth
ritis, joint pain and skin rash.
Although it is more common
among women than men, it
is not a rare condition.
"We believe," Dr. Dame
shek has said, "there is suf
ficient evidence at hand to
call SLE a complex autoim
mune disorder with irregular
involvement of various con
stituents of the blood and
small blood vessels, thus re
sulting in a highly protein
(changeable) disorder.
"Involvement at the begin
ning may be limited to one
tissue, one organ or one blood
cell constituent, with progres
sively greater involvement as
time goes on. Finally, there
is a widespread generalized
disease with death ordinarily
due to severe renal (kidney)
disease;"
Dr. Dameshek said the rea
sons groups of abnormal antibody-producing
cells develop
are "obscure."
