Patient Heal Thyself: Solution to Treatment for Chronic Infections Could Lie in Patient's Blood

[Overstressed]

Sep. 23, 2013 — A recent discovery by scientists at A*STAR's Singapore Institute for Clinical Sciences (SICS), in close collaboration with researchers at the Singapore Immunology Network (SIgN), provides hope for a new personalised treatment strategy that could use a patient's own blood to treat the infection. This could help treat millions of people living with chronic infections such as HIV, Hepatitis B or Hepatitis C. These findings were published in the August 2013 issue of The Journal of Clinical Investigation.

Interesting, I wonder if it would work for bacterial infections too.
