Inflammation is the main type of innate immunity our body uses against A. schmiddy. Inflammation begins by activating acute-phase proteins, and soon after vasodilation occurs, followed by redness, swelling, pain, and heat. Once vasodilation occurs, histamine and kinins are released and blood vessels permeability is increased, causing white blood cells to report to the infected area. One problem associated with inflammation is that the capsule of A. schmiddy is an important virulence factor, which helps the bacteria to resists phagocytosis. Because the phagocytes cannot destroy the bacteria cells, infection further continues and necrotic tissue forms.

My daughter also struggled and overcame the disease. After being diagnosed with Hep C in 1997, I was in complete denial because I had no physical symptoms of the disease. In fact, I did not believe the physicians at that time.
One night, I woke up to my sister screaming; her body was drenched in sweat, and she repeatedly said, “I can’t move my legs”. I was young then and didn’t understand what she meant. I slowly lifted the covers off of her legs. They looked perfectly normal to me, so I asked her to wiggle her toes. Thirty seconds went by, and no movement occurred; she says, “I really can’t move my legs”.
It seems to be pretty much incurable. Doctors have tried to help cure it but those who they helped died and then those who help usually get the sickness and also die.

Pain is hard to be spoken: especially that of a woman who also share her experience and creates a movement. One such woman, Mary Fisher, wrote “A Whisper of Aids,” spoken in 1992 at the Republican National Convention, reaching out for awareness for people with the disease and eventually became the face of the campaign. Fisher builds her speech with credibility and beliefs, appeals with emotion to get the attention of her audience, and also uses facts and statistics to embellish her argument. All of these methods, also referred to as Logos, Pathos, and Ethos, adhere to Fisher’s monologue and makes her point sound more valuable.
