The conventional concept of an acute virus infection is contrasted with the newer concept of a "slow virus infection". The author describes several neurological diseases of animals and man with a "proven" slow viral etiology. The epidemiological, clinical laboratory and pathological features of these diseases are placed parallel to several idiopathic degenerative and demyelinating diseases of man and remarkable similarities are noted. Dr. Weber suggests that diseases such as Parkinsonism, Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease, amyotrophic lateral sclerosis and multiple sclerosis may result from slow viral infections.
将传统的急性病毒感染概念与较新的“慢病毒感染”概念进行对比。作者描述了几种具有“明确”慢病毒病因的动物和人类神经疾病。将这些疾病的流行病学、临床实验室和病理学特征与几种人类特发性退行性和脱髓鞘疾病进行平行比较,发现了显著的相似之处。Weber 博士认为,帕金森病、克雅氏病、肌萎缩侧索硬化症和多发性硬化症等疾病可能是由慢病毒感染引起的。
