Alzheimer's disease (AD) is a leading cause of dementia among elderly. Yet, its etiology remains largely unclear. In this review, we summarize studies that associate systemic infection and neuroinflammation with AD, while highlighting that early-life or life-long exposure to infectious agents predisposes one to develop AD at a later age.
阿尔茨海默病（AD）是老年人痴呆的主要病因。然而，其病因在很大程度上仍不清楚。在本综述中，我们总结了将全身感染和神经炎症与AD相关联的研究，同时强调早年或终生接触感染因子会使人在晚年易患AD。
