Researchers have recently discovered a possible link between the occurrence of a severe or on-going infection due to a cold, the flu or even a bruise in Alzheimer patients, and an acceleration of memory loss. The correlation between inflammation and the resulting rise in the blood level protein TNF-alpha may hold the key to the mystery. Researchers found that patients with an infection and an accompanying sharp increase in TNF-alpha protein suffered memory loss at double the rate of Alzheimer patients in the study who did not have an infection.  In contrast, subjects with low amounts of TNF-alpha protein incurred no memory loss during the time span of the study.
