Inhibition1

  • Rebuilding after exertion may enable a tissue pathogen reservoir to produce new pathogens

    Where this hypothesis actsA viable tissue reservoir in aging humans with postinfectious exertional intolerance; organism and site unspecified

    What is proposedSuppress demonstrated new productive pathogen output

    With whatNot stated in the record

    HowA sufficiently selective pathogen-specific perturbation in a contained preparation retaining the observed host-state transition; no inhibitor is specified

    Possible resultPossible reduction in recurrent local injury and delayed functional loss if new pathogen output materially drives injury
