>RESEARCH TEAM IDENTIFIES GENETIC MATERIAL IN GULF WAR-ERA VETERANS:  Mounting
>Scientific Evidence Shows Gulf War Vets Were 
>Exposed to Chemical Agents
>Tampa, FL, October 7, 1996 -- 
>
>The detection of genetic material found in the blood of  Persian Gulf 
>War-era veterans was announced today at a national conference 
>sponsored by the National Gulf War Resource Center.  The study, 
>led by research microbiologist Dr. Howard B. Urnovitz, is an 
>important step in determining the potential research course, 
>consequences, and treatments for Gulf War veterans.
>
>Persian Gulf War Related Illnesses (PGWRI) have similarities to 
>illnesses associated with exposure to organophosphate poisons, such 
>as chemical nerve agents, as well as many epidemics described under 
>a variety of names related to epidemic fatigue syndromes (EFS). EFS 
>have, in some cases, been described following specific viral infections.  
>The ongoing study tested whether veterans suffering from PGWRI also 
>had evidence of infections associated with EFS.  
>
>"This study strongly supports the concept that microbiological markers 
>may be associated with this veteran population," said Dr. Urnovitz, 
>Chief Science Officer of  Berkeley-based Calypte Biomedical.  "We 
>expect these findings to lead to the development of a diagnostic tool 
>that would help identify individuals who may be susceptible to Persian 
>Gulf War Related Illnesses."  "We already know that the veterans 
>appear to have immune anomalies that might put them at risk for 
>common infections.  The results of this present study suggest that RNA 
>can be isolated from the serum of Gulf War veterans that appear to 
>share some similarity to the enterovirus family.  No similar RNA was 
>found in the control civilian group," Urnovitz concluded.
>
>The study examined whether military personnel who developed  
>symptoms of PGWRI had the presence of genetic material related to 
>the group of viruses known as enteroviruses.  
>
>Enteroviruses belong to a common virus family (there are several 
>hundred different types ranging from common cold viruses 
>(rhinoviruses) to those viruses that cause paralytic polio) and use 
>RNA as their genetic material.  Microbial agents can be detected by 
>testing for genetic material that makes each agent unique.  Serum was
>collected from  subjects of three groups:
>       - 22 randomly selected non-military civilians
>       - 36 subjects deployed to the Persian Gulf  
>         [23 from California and 13 from Arkansas] 
>         8 soldiers from Arkansas who were not deployed   
>
>Using the new technology known as "gene amplification," the sera 
>were analyzed for the presence of "nucleic acid bands."  The 
>presence of several unique bands were observed in 19 of 23 of the 
>deployed California veterans, 10 of 13 of the deployed Arkansas  
>veterans, 8 of 8 of the Arkansas non-deployed veterans, and 1 of 22 
>non-military civilians.  
>
>Analyses of the nucleic acid sequences indicated that they  may be 
>related to the enterovirus family.  The results of the study also indicate 
>that some  aspect of military service may predispose individuals to the
>possibility of developing these Persian Gulf War related Illnesses.  
>
>The eight soldiers who were not deployed are apparently healthy, 
>indicating that other factors related to the Persian Gulf War experience 
>are required to trigger an onset of illness.

>Dr.  Marie Chow, Professor of Microbiology, Immunology and 
>Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences, one of 
>the investigators of the Arkansas group, and a known enterovirus 
>expert, cautioned that "while an actual virus has not been identified, 
>this is an important first step in trying to determine what contributions
>microorganisms may play in the development of PGWRI.  We still have 
>a significant way to go before we understand the complexity of this
>multifactorial disease.  There are clearly many factors underlying 
>these symptoms."

>[by Peter Kawaja insert : Now the lies - er, damage control. Chemical Weapons
>are NOT contagious, BIOLOGICALS are !  Read it and weep.]
>One critical factor may be the exposure of veterans to chemical agents. 
>"This was the most toxic battlefield in the history of modern warfare.  
>Studies since World War I show that individuals exposed to chemical 
>agents and related poisons have manifested symptoms similar to those 
>of the Gulf War veterans," said James J. Tuite, III, an international 
>security consultant and former director of the U.S. Senate Banking 
>Committee investigation into the arming of Iraq and the health effects 
>of the Persian Gulf War.  
>
>"The high explosive weapons used to destroy Iraqi chemical 
>munitions sites and secondary fires forced skyward vapors and toxic 
>by-products from chemical agents. Weather patterns moved them as 
>fallout over U.S. and coalition soldiers.  As favorable conditions 
>developed, the heavier-than-air gases fell to the ground where their presence
>was confirmed by multiple scientific techniques," he added. 
>
>Tuite noted that other factors, including some preventive medicine 
>measures and other occupational hazards could have exacerbated the effects of
>this toxic fallout.  Supported by a growing body of literature, 
>these exposures may have caused many of the veterans to develop a 
>chronic autoimmune neurologic disease.   
>
>Dr. Robert Garry, Professor of Microbiology at the Tulane University 
>Medical School, and a known expert in the discovery of novel human 
>viruses and autoimmune neurologic diseases, emphasizes the 
>importance of this study.  "If a virus is found to be associated with this
>disease,  significant resources need to be dedicated to learn whether 
>these microbes [ AHAAAAAAA - yes microbes, that's the ticket ! / insert 
>by PK] are contributing to the illnesses of returning veterans and their
>families, as well as birth defects in their children after the war."   [ so 
>it IS contagious, thank you very much - by PK ]
>
>"Studies designed to detect microbial agents associated with
>organophosphate-induced delayed  neuropathies and epidemic fatigue syndromes
>are important to understand the chronic diseases from 
>which many veterans suffer," said Urnovitz.  "These symptoms would 
>appear different than the acute symptoms of toxic chemical exposure."
>"PGWRI are not only multifactorial, but are probably multi-hit illnesses - 
>that is illness development actually requires a combination of several 
>events.

>This study is important because it identifies a measurable factor which 
>may be associated with a potential hit.  Clearly additional research 
>must be done to identify the other "hits"  and to determine the role of 
>these findings in PGWRI," said Dr. Susan Guba, Assistant Professor of
>Medicine and Pathology at the University of Arkansas for Medical 
>Sciences and the Little Rock Department of Veterans Affairs Medical 
>Center, and study coordinator for the Arkansas  group. "We are seeing 
>many symptoms of chronic diseases that have always been considered 
>to have some viral component to them.  It will be important to see if 
>research yields the identity of a possible virus so that we can consider

>Higashida, Assistant Clinical Professor of Medicine at the University of
>California-Davis, Chief of Rheumatology, Veterans Affairs Northern 
>California Health Care System, and principal study coordinator for the
>California  veterans group.  Dr. Urnovitz received his Ph.D. in
>Microbiology/Immunology at the  University of Michigan Medical 
>School in Ann Arbor, Michigan.  He began studying the origins of
