It specifically develops in men over 50 causing them to become very sick and fatigued and in some cases is fatal. Those who are affected by the VEXAS Syndrome have an autoinflammatory condition with symptoms such as unexplained fevers blood clots and inflammation of the cartilage lung tissue and blood vessels.
