Is dyslexia caused by a herpes viral infection during pregnancy? Is there an overlap with vertigo, migraine, and tinnitus?

If a virus infects a baby's brain does a learning disability develops?

Herpes viruses like zoster, cmv, and HHV6 infect the temporal lobe. Can this trigger dyslexia or autism.  Does the virus alone cause dyslexia or deafness?

Many babies exposed to CMV have been shown to develop dyslexia

HSV1 has been linked to spatial learning too

cmv and vestibulocochlear nerve (auditory vestibular nerve), known as the eighth cranial nerve
has 2 areas: vestibular and cochlear meaning balance and hearing

CMV can cause hearing loss

migraines and dyslexia seem to have an overlap too. After a migraine dyslexia can follow.

Note that amyloid appears after mitochondrial damage:

herpes infections also cause amyloid
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17980964

since herpes viruses go dormant in the mitochondria of nerves (we know shingles does not occur all the time) are children with dyslexia at risk for the virus awakening? do they have dormant viral infections?

early childhood development disorders and the overlap of alzheimer's is currently being debated

  1. I think you are definitely on to something here. Some of the things I've seen without actually quoting the sources, as there are many I've looked at to put this together, there is a retrovirus, herv-k in C4 of complement, and C4 complement is one of the most complicated genes out there. Viruses block pathways to eliminate mercury. Bacteria block pathways to eliminate aluminum. C4 can hide ther herv-k virus in it, or rather, herv-k is encoded right in the DNA. Viruses can hide in the lymph system. Mitochondria are part of the signaling for defense against viruses. Artificial deficiencies in complement components can be created by microbes with complement evasion strategies. It is absolutely amazing how often herv-k shows up in diseases, and C4 is the second component in activation of complement through the lectin pathway.

    I think huge gains to understanding autoimmunity are made when autoimmunity is studied through complement and an understanding of how evasion strategies cause dysregulation and all the research starts looking for and evaluating which microbes are present and their prevalence.
