Borna Disease Virus: Mögliche Ursache neurologischer und psychiatrischer Störungen des Menschen
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.

Examination of Table 2 demonstrates that all of the listed studies used genotypes as the unit of analysis except for the study by Nadel and colleagues [11], which mentions some information regarding genotype but conducts an analysis based on allele distribution.
However, APACHE II has questionable predictive value in sepsis [41, 42]. Thus, can we be sure that this is an appropriate measure of disease severity upon cohort entry? Better measures of disease burden (such as the Sequential Organ Failure Assessment (SOFA) score [43]) and co-morbidity are necessary to eliminate confounding variables when measuring the impact of genetic polymorphism on outcome. Subgroups of patients with different forms of sepsis may have different outcomes depending on the etiology of sepsis in that group despite a similar genotype [26].
