- Morgellons is a multi-symptom disease that is just now starting to be researched and understood. It has a number primary symptoms:
- Physical
- Sponanteously Erupting Skin lesions
- Sensation of crawling, biting on and under the skin
- Appearance of blue, black or red fibers and granules beneath and/or extruding from the skin
- Fatigue
- Mental
- Short-term memory loss
- Attention Deficit, Bipolar or Obsessive-Compulsive disorders
- Impaired thought processing (brain fog)
- Depression and feelings of isolation
- It is frequently misdiagnosed as Delusional Parasitosis or an Obsessive Picking Disorder.
- Adults and Children are equally affected by the disease.
- Individuals in families can experience symptoms of the disease while other members are unaffected. So it is not known, at this point, if the disease is contagious or inherited.
- Multiple members of a family can have symptoms.
- More than 3,000 households have registered with the Morgellons Research Foundation.
- Most cases in the United States are from specific geographic regions of California, Texas and Florida, though all 50 states have had reported cases.
- Oklahoma has reported numerous probable cases.
- It has been reported worldwide in places such as Europe, South Africa, Japan, The Philippines, Indonesia and Australia
- The Morgellons Research Foundation began registering people with symptoms of the disease in 2002.
- The name "Morgellons Disease" is based on the description of a similar fiber producing condition, found in children by Sir Thomas Browne in 1674. Microscopic drawings, dating from 1682 by Dr. Michel Etmuller appear to be similar to the fibers from present-day sufferers.
- There is no evidence giving preference to one season being a more likely time to contract the disease.
- There are patients who have claimed to have had the symptoms for as long as two decades. Most were diagnosed with Delusional Parasitosis and/or Obsessive Picking of the skin.
- Medical research started in earnest in 2005 at Oklahoma State University Center for Health Sciences in Tulsa by Dr. Randy Wymore.
- There are doctors who believe it is related to an infectious agent, perhaps in the same family as that which causes Lyme Disease. There is no evidence to prove this theory at the present time.
- Morgellons is coming to the forefront now, due to the concerted effort of the Morgellons Research Foundation, founded by Mary Leitao, whose child suffers from Morgellons Disease.
- Attention needs to be drawn to Morgellons so:
  
  Doctors will become informed and make accurate diagnoses
  
  Insurance companies will cover medical expenses
  
  Major government organizations (the CDC, for example) will pay attention and start funding research
- There is no definitive understanding of how the disease is transmitted.
- There is no conclusive evidence showing whether it is contagious. Some families have only one member who is affected, even after long exposure, while other families report multiple sufferers.

Adenovirus Serotype 14 Fatal Colds Due to Recombinant?

- Adenovirus Serotype 14 Fatal Colds Due to Recombinant?
- Adenovirus serotype 14 (Ad14) is a
  rarely reported but emerging serotype of adenovirus that can cause
  severe and sometimes fatal respiratory illness in patients of all ages,
  including healthy young adults.
- Ad14 isolates from all four
  states were identical by sequence data from the full hexon and fiber
  genes.
- However, the isolates were distinct from the Ad14 reference
  strain from 1955, suggesting the emergence and spread of a new Ad14
  variant in the United States.
- The above comments in this week’s MMWR in the report entitled
  “Acute Respiratory Disease Associated with Adenovirus Serotype 14 –
  Four States 2006-2007” raise questions about the genetic changes in the
  Ad14 variant.
- Most of the cases described in the report involve recruits at Lackland
  Air Force base in Texas where 106 recruits tested positive for Ad14
  between February and June of this year. 27 were hospitalized and
  5 of those patients were moved to the ICU where 1 died. The death
  of a young (19M) recruit from adenovirus is cause for concern.
- A related report, described the appearance of Ad14 at multiple military
  bases in 2006.
- 10 of these cases are detailed by the San Diego site at
  the National Service for Emerging Adenovirus Infections website.
- The
  cases (at Fort Benning in Georgia, Great Lakes in Illinois, MCRD in San
  Diego) are listed at the site and are also referenced in a publication
  entitled, “Abrupt emergence of diverse species B1 and B2 adenovirus in
  US military recruit training centers” which describes the recent
  appearance of Ad14 at multiple military sites.
- In addition, the MMWR report indicates infections at Lackland are
  continuing among recruits, as well as nurses treating the recruits, and
  recruits at other bases in Texas.
- the MMWR
  describes infections in civilians in Oregon, Washington State, and New
  York. Most of these cases were in Oregon, where 31 cases were
  identified.
- Of these, 22 were hospitalized and 16 were
  transferred to the ICU where 7 died.
- At the other two sites, 2 of
  5 patients died (one also had HIV and one was a newborn).
- Thus, 9
  of the 36 patients infected with AD14 died, producing a case fatality
  rate of 25%.
- In Oregon, the median age of the fatal cases was
  63.6 years.
- The number of Ad14 cases in the general population is not clear.
- The changes in the Ad14 sequence should be of interest.
  Adenovirus evolves via homologous recombination, and the report on the
  military sites noted the high frequency of dual or triple adenovirus
  infections, which are required for homologous recombination.
