Today, there are several million diseases in the world. Some of them are widespread pathologies, others are so rare that they are known only by isolated cases of diseases. Among all pathologies, the most interesting for most people are fatal diseases.
Studies conducted by scientists have made it possible to compile a list of the most dangerous and incurable diseases.
Topping this list is Ebola, which occurs under the influence of flavivirus. The disease leads to the development of fever, rash and heavy bleeding. The treatment of this pathology is extremely difficult, since there is no effective therapy against the etiological agent. Mortality from this disease ranges from 50 to 90 percent.
Polio is also one of the ten most dangerous diseases. Caused by a virus, a disease develops in the nervous system, leading to muscle paralysis and other complications. A distinctive feature is the lack of treatment. The vaccine developed and started to be used since 1960 made it possible to completely eradicate the likelihood of severe pathology.
Fatal diseases also include lupus erythematosus, which, due to its autoimmune genesis, can lead to serious disturbances in the functioning of human organs and systems. Antibodies produced by an impaired immune system can destroy any body tissue and, depending on the localization site, cause the corresponding manifestations.
No matter how strange it may sound, but deadly diseases include flu on their list.
Being the most common infectious disease, influenza can lead, in some cases, to severe complications. Severe forms of the disease occur after a significant evolution of virus strains, which leads to partial or complete ineffectiveness of influenza vaccination measures.
The next life-threatening person is Creutfeldt-Jakob disease, which leads to degenerative changes in the central nervous system of a sick person. The disease is not treatable and a fatal outcome occurs, as a rule, in the first year of the disease.
The next dangerous disease is diabetes, the treatment of which also does not cure the patient. In most cases, treatment is represented by lifelong replacement therapy, which continues until severe complications lead to the death of the patient.
Fatal diseases include in their list the ailments of the twenty-first century - HIV / AIDS and cancer. HIV today is the most urgent problem, and millions of scientists puzzle over inventing methods of treatment, however, to date, reliable and reliable methods have not been developed. Cancer has the same fate. Compared with the twentieth century (middle), malignant tumors are now not only more common, but their forms have become much more severe. Cancer treatment exists, but it is still too early to talk about its 100% effectiveness.
In addition to this list, fatal diseases of the heart and other organs can be distinguished into separate groups. A huge number of different pathologies could be included in this list, since the number of incurable diseases that can lead to inevitable death of a person is huge.
Thus, deadly diseases, the list of which could be supplemented by several more, or even thousands of diseases, are well known in modern medicine, however, at the moment there are practically no effective ways to treat them.
