American HIV/AIDS specialists Dr. Michael Saag and Anthony Fauci who conduct competing research and offer different treatment strategies maintain that the bone marrow treatment cure is not the answer for people with HIV.

The guidelines were published online at the NIAID food allergy guidelines portal, which also has a frequently asked questions section. The agency will release a patient synopsis early next year. The guidelines establish consistent terminology and definitions, diagnostic criteria and patient management practices. Additional topics covered by the guidelines include the prevalence of food allergy and management of acute allergic reactions to food, including anaphylaxis. The report also identifies gaps about what is known about food allergy. NIAID Director Anthony S. Fauci, MACP, said, “Because thes...

A panel of government advisers voted 23 to 3 late last week in favor of the new study, and Anthony Fauci, director of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, says he would review their comments and decide “reasonably soon” whether to proceed. The the Merck vaccine was terminated last fall when 49 recipients became infected, compared with 33 people who received a placebo. But panel members who backed the government test said it may yield valuable data about vaccines that rely on the action of immune system cells, Bloomberg writes. The study was reduced in size by about 50 percent after Merc...

Dr. Fauci heads the National Institute of Health's National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases. In addition to his spectacular medical contributions, he is, equally importantly, a passionate and wonderfully articulate explainer of the importance of infectious disease and global health to common people. Unfortunately, I was called unexpectedly out of the meeting for a call, but here are my notes on his comments. They provide a clear view of the value of his work. Plagues and epidemics have shaped societies since the beginning of civilization. Gradually, though, and with progress in hygiene and the management of disease, the dangers from infectious diseases to ordinary ...
