Infectious Behavior: Brain-Immune Connections in Autism, Schizophrenia, and Depression

In Infectious Behavior, neurobiologist Paul Patterson examines the involvement of the immune system in autism, schizophrenia, and major depressive disorder. Although genetic approaches to these diseases have garnered the lion’s share of publicity and funding, scientists are uncovering evidence of the important avenues of communication between the brain and the immune system and their involvement in mental illness. Patterson focuses on this brain-immune crosstalk, exploring the possibility that it may help us understand the causes of these common but still mysterious diseases. The heart of this engaging book, accessible to nonscientists, concerns the involvement of the immune systems of the pregnant woman and her fetus, and a consideration of maternal infection as a risk factor for schizophrenia and autism. Patterson reports on research that may shed light on today’s autism epidemic. He also outlines the risks and benefits of both maternal and postnatal vaccinations. In the course of his discussion, Patterson offers a short history of immune manipulation in treating mental illness (recounting some frightening but fascinating early experiments) and explains how the immune system influences behavior and how the brain regulates the immune system, looking in particular at stress and depression. He examines the prenatal origins of adult disease and evidence for immune involvement in autism, schizophrenia, and depression. Finally, he describes the promise shown by recent animal experiments that have led to early clinical trials of postnatal and adult treatments for patients with autism and related disorders.

Curbing Down Infectious Diseases

Despite the efforts to curb down infectious diseases, there are still such diseases that affect millions of people in the US and worldwide. One such is viral hepatitis. Hepatitis is classified into 5 major types (A to E) but the most common are types A, B, and C. According to the CDC, hepatitis remains to be the number one cause of hepatic (liver) cancer, as well as the leading cause for requiring liver transplants.

The CDC estimates that more than four million Americans are infected with chronic hepatitis. However, it is interesting to note that the acute incidences of hepatitis A, B, and C have sharply declined since 1980. Hepatitis A experienced peaks and troughs until around 1995 when US incidence sharply fell with an all-time low in 2008. Both the incidences of hepatitis B and C sharply fell around 1990 and been at their all-time low by 2008.

New incidences of hepatitis have greatly decreased from around 450,000 new cases annually in the 1980′s to about 80,000 new cases annually by the 1990′s.

This is attributed to the hepatitis vaccine administered to children and adolescents. As such, the importance of hepatitis vaccination among children cannot be stressed enough. Studies have shown that lifelong hepatitis infection is most prevalent among infants and children. It is expected that around one-fourth of these infected children will die of liver disease by adulthood.

Other important vaccine-preventable infections are the pneumococcal diseases. According to the World Health Organization (WHO), pneumococcal diseases have the highest kill rate among children under 5 years old among vaccine-preventable diseases. It is estimated that around one million children die annually due to pneumococcus infections that result in fatal pneumonia, sepsis, and meningitis.

These are most prevalent in developing countries in South Asia and Africa, and is now of moderate to low concern in the US, Europe, and South America.

Due to the high prevalence of death due to pneumococcus, the WHO recommended in 2007 the inclusion of pneumococcal vaccines in immunization programs especially in developing countries. In the United States, around 63,000 children fell victim to invasive pneumococcal diseases prior to the introduction of the pneumococcal conjugate vaccine (PCV).

More than 6,000 of these resulted into deaths. Those who survived suffered from the long-term complications which included seizures and deafness. The CDC estimated that the pneumococcal vaccines reduced the incidence of pneumococcus infections by as much as 75% in the US. Likewise, the WHO estimates that as new pneumococcus vaccines are developed and administered, up to 80% of serious pneumococcal childhood infections can be prevented worldwide.

In Defense of Self: How the Immune System Really Works

We live in a sea of seething microbial predators, an infinity of invisible and invasive microorganisms capable of setting up shop inside us and sending us to an early grave. The only thing keeping them out? The immune system.

William Clark’s In Defense of Self offers a refreshingly accessible tour of the immune system, putting in layman’s terms essential information that has been for too long the exclusive province of trained specialists. Clark explains how the immune system works by using powerful genetic, chemical, and cellular weapons to protect us from the vast majority of disease-causing microbes-bacteria, viruses, molds, and parasites. Only those microbes our bodies need to help us digest food and process vitamins are admitted. But this same system can endanger us by rejecting potentially life-saving organ transplants, or by overreacting and turning too much force against foreign invaders, causing serious–occasionally lethal–collateral damage to our tissues and resulting in autoimmune disease. In Defense of Self covers everything from how antibodies work and the strategies the body uses to distinguish self from not self to the nature of immunological memory, the latest approaches to vaccination, and how the immune system will react should we ever be subjected to a bioterrorist attack. Clark also offers important insights on the vital role that the immune system plays in cancer, AIDS, autoimmunity, rheumatoid arthritis, allergies and asthma, and other diseases.

Of special interest to all those suffering from diseases related to the immune system, as well as their families, In Defense of Self lucidly explains a system none of us could live without.We live in a sea of seething microbial predators, an infinity of invisible and invasive microorganisms capable of setting up shop inside us and sending us to an early grave.
