Comments. 1  Can you please tell me why the Brussels sprouts I grew last year did not get very high and the fruit was poor. 2  My brussel sprouts leaves are dieing but the stalk has lots of sprouts does this cause poor development of sprouts. 3  I had great plants with no sprouts. 4  I have very small pea sized sprouts on my plants .
diseases similar to HIV. ...The HTLV-I virus and HIV are transmitted the same way, and infect the same cells of the body. However HTLV-I does not cause AIDS ! Instead, HTLV-I causes a rare form of leukemia and also causes specific types of neurological problems.
HIV/AIDS. HIV, or human immunodeficiency virus, is the virus that causes AIDS (Acquired Immunodeficiency Syndrome). HIV attacks the immune system by destroying CD4 positive (CD4+) T cells, a type of white blood cell that is vital to fighting off infection. The destruction of these cells leaves people living with HIV vulnerable to other infections, diseases and other complications.
