The role of infection in the Alzheimer’s disease causation
Posted on April 13, 2016 by

Thirty-three researchers and clinicians point out the potential link of infection to Alzheimer’s disease (AD) in a recently published editorial. They refer to the “many studies, mainly on humans, implicating specific microbes in the elderly brain, notably herpes simplex virus type 1, Chlamydia pneumoniae, and several types of spirochaete, in the etiology of AD.” Despite the wide breadth of supportive evidence, the authors say that topic is often dismissed as controversial, and urge further research on the link of infectious agents to AD including trials of antimicrobial therapy.
