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.
How AIDS develops. 1  The immune system is gradually disrupted. HIV kills cells in the lymph nodes (small glands filled with immune cells that trap foreign organisms) and in other sites. 2  Virus levels in the blood and the lymph nodes increase because the immune system cannot keep up with the amount of virus constantly produced. HIV constantly changes itself, avoiding attack by the antibodies and immune cells that normally control infections.
