👉 Don infection, also known as Don's disease, is a rare and often misunderstood condition characterized by severe systemic inflammation and infection. It is named after Dr. Donald A. Don, who first described the syndrome in the 1970s. Don infection typically involves an overactive immune response to a specific antigen, leading to widespread inflammation that can affect multiple organs and systems in the body, including the skin, liver, kidneys, and lungs. Symptoms can range from fever, rash, joint pain, and fatigue to more severe complications like sepsis, organ failure, and even death if not promptly treated. The exact cause of Don infection remains unclear, but it is believed to involve a combination of genetic predisposition and environmental triggers that activate an abnormal immune response. Early diagnosis and aggressive treatment with antibiotics and immunosuppressive therapies are crucial for managing the condition and preventing severe outcomes.
