Novel Case Presentation of Abulia After Lone Star Tick Bite As Evidenced by Raised Titers of Alpha-Gal Specific IgM Immunoglobulin and a Possibility of Alpha-Gal Driven Hypothalamic Dysfunction As the Pathomechanism
Galactose-α-1,3-galactose, an oligosaccharide epitope better acknowledged as α-Gal, is present in non-primate mammal meat, tick bites, microorganisms, and vaccines as a glycoprotein or glycolipid moiety. This can manifest hyperimmune reactions as it enters the human body, known as α-Gal syndrome (AG...
