Cystic fibrosis (CF), also called mucoviscidosis, is an autosomal, recessive, hereditary disease of the exocrine glands. It affects the lungs, sweat glands and the digestive system, causing chronic respiratory and digestive problems. It is caused by mutations in the cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR) protein. It is the most common fatal autosomal recessive disease in Caucasians.

Parkinson's disease (paralysis agitans or PD) is a movement disorder often characterized by muscle rigidity, tremor, a slowing of physical movement (bradykinesia), and in extreme cases, a loss of physical movement (akinesia). The primary symptoms are due to excessive muscle contraction. This is normally caused by the insufficient formation and action of dopamine, which is normally produced in the dopaminergic neurons in the brain. Parkinson's Disease was first formally recognised and its symptoms documented in 1817 in An Essay on the Shaking Palsy by the British physician Dr James Parkinson; the associated biochemical changes in the brain of patients were identified in the 1960s.\n\nParkinson's disease is a disorder of the central nervous system. The central nervous system includes the brain and spinal cord. Parkinson's disease is one of the conditions known as a movement disorder. \n\nCertain cells in the brain make a chemical substance called dopamine (DOE-puh-mean). Dopamine carries messages that tell the body how and when to move. Parkinson's disease occurs when these brain cells die or are damaged. There is no longer enough dopamine to carry these messages, and movement becomes more difficult. Parkinson's disease is both a chronic and progressive disease. Chronic means that it lasts for a long time. Progressive means the symptoms get worse over time. The symptoms of Parkinson's disease and the speed at which the disease progresses differ for each person. \n\nCheck the 2 links to learn more!

As chihuahua rightly said, there are exceptions. Other organisms (not mentioned in that wikipedia link) include Mycobacteria Leprae (causes leprosy) as well as Treponema Pallidum (causes syphilis).\n\nAlso, there are modifications done to the original Koch's postulates, now known as the 'Molecular Koch's Postulates'. These involve isolating & modifying specific virulence gene for studies with models of infection.\n\nWhy is it important for the HIV virus to satisfy Koch's postulates, anyway? The postulates are used to establish that a specific micro-organism is the cause of a particular disease. That's all. The guy is obviously not 100% correct with all micro-organisms.

Bartonellosis is an infectious bacterial disease with an acute form (which has a sudden onset and short course) and a chronic form (which has more gradual onset and longer duration). The disease is transmitted by sandflies and occurs in western South America. Characterized by a form of red blood cell deficiency (hemolytic anemia) and fever, the potentially fatal acute form is called OROYA fever or Carrion's disease. The chronic form is identified by painful skin lesions.

The cause of Loug Gherig's disease, or ALS (amyotrophic latteral sclerosis), is still unknown.\nOnly 5-10 percent of ALS cases are inherited. \nALS scares the hell out of me, because I watched my mother die an agonizing death. I have no idea what variation of ALS she had, but I would rather be shot than die like she did.

Definition\n\nVon Gierke disease is a group of inherited metabolic disorders which involve increased glycogen storage. Since glycogen is needed to fuel muscles, problems with its metabolism can affect the whole body.\n\nSome problems include slow growth, enlarged liver, gout, kidney failure, and chronic low blood sugar. In the past, von Gierke disease was associated with stunted growth, delayed or absent puberty, and early death.\n\nWith the development of treatments, growth, puberty, and quality of life have markedly improved.
