Borna Disease Virus: Mögliche Ursache neurologischer und by Karl Bechter

By Karl Bechter

Die Borna'sche Krankheit ist schon lange bei Tieren, v.a. bei Pferden und Schafen, als eine sporadisch auftretende, progressiv verlaufende Encephalomyelitis bekannt und galt ausschließlich als tierpathogen. In Studien konnten Wissenschaftler BD-virusspezifische Antikörper auch in Liquores von Menschen mit psychiatrisch relevantem Krankheitsbild nachweisen, die die Erkenntnis brachten, daß der Mensch mit dem BD-Virus infizierbar ist. Der Autor führte dazu eine der weltweit größten Untersuchungen an über 10.000 Patienten durch und stellte fest, daß das BD-Virus bzw. eine seiner Varianten den Menschen nicht nur infizieren, sondern bei ihm auch zu psychischen Störungen führen können. Die vorliegende Monographie versucht eine Einordnung dieser Erkenntnisse in den derzeitigen Wissensstand zu Ätiologe und Pathogenese psychiatrischer Erkrankungen und bietet neuen Diskussionsstoff für Forschungsgruppen.
