The description of the disease matches the symptoms of acquired immune deficiency syndrome (AIDS), a condition caused by the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) that attacks and weakens the immune system. This leaves individuals like Ursula vulnerable to opportunistic infections that can be life-threatening. Kaposi's sarcoma may occur in individuals with weakened immune systems but it is a type of cancer and not a disease itself. cART (combination antiretroviral therapy) is a treatment option for HIV/AIDS, but not a disease. Dementia complex is not associated with immune system suppression.
