Immunological dysfunction, vaccination and Gulf War illness [PDF]

Philosophical Transactions of the Royal Society B: Biological Sciences, 2006
One candidate cause of Gulf War illness is vaccination against infectious diseases including medical counter-measures against biological weapons. One influential theory has suggested that such mass-vaccination caused a shift in immune response to a Type 2 cytokine pattern (Th2), which it was suggested was accompanied by a chronic ...

Acetylcholinesterase inhibitors and Gulf War illnesses [PDF]

Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, 2008
Increasing evidence suggests excess illness in Persian Gulf War veterans (GWV) can be explained in part by exposure of GWV to organophosphate and carbamate acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (AChEis), including pyridostigmine bromide (PB), pesticides, and nerve agents. Evidence germane to the relation of AChEis to illness in GWV was assessed.
