10. AIDS
AIDS is an anacronym for Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome. It develops from an infection by the HIV virus, which weakens the patients immune system, affecting their ability to protect themselves from disease. Patients with AIDS die from other conditions like pneumonia that the patient was unable to protect themselves against.
Many people that are HIV positive will live healthy lives for years before developing AIDS. Despite this, they will still be able to pass on the virus to other people so all precautions should be taken. Many unwelcome symptoms can result from AIDS, one of which is swollen lymph nodes.
