11:08 pm
>> so even though the end result is that they look like an hiv infected person because they have so many of these complicating infections, in fact it isn't an infection that's causing it. it's the body's reaction ainst an important protein. so it isn't contagious. it doesn't spread from one person to another. >> reporter: so far, doctors have found they can help patients but not cure them. >> we have antibiotics against the infections that they get. but that doesn't treat the underlying defect that's leading to this susceptibility to these infections. that has not been worked out yet. >> reporter: another way of say ing ing no cure yet. what causes it? doctors don't know. but apparently believe some combination of asian heritage and environmental factors may kick in to trigger the disease at about age 50. they're looking for answers, getting some help from one patient being treated at the nih campus in bethesda. anita. >> it is a medical mystery. thanks, gary. we're now going to give you a follow up on the deadly

11:10 pm
thousands of delegates, party officials, media and the candidates will be gathering over the weekend. now, if a strong hurricane approaches, the whole area would have to be evacuated. tampa's mayor says the city is ready. >> we literally would take off our convention hats and put on our storm hat. that would be really the only logistical difference. >> that is florida, and they do know their storms. now, ahead of the storms, 400 buses would shuttle the delegates to a safe location. but that would only be if the city and the republican national committee vote to do all of that. until then, all they can do is keep on preparing. and fosh the very latest -- for the very latest on the isaac path, let's check in with topper shutt. >> we have new information and the winds are stronger. 45 miles an hour as opposed to 40. so wind wise it's still a low end tropical storm. tropical storms are 35 miles an hour to 70 miles an hour. let's share the satellite picturement of it's a big storm.
11:11 pm
and -- picture. it's a big storm. the southern portion will be rainfall. that is really going to be the most potent aspect of this storm right now. it's a pretty big storm. it almost stretches across the entire caribbean sea. you see the black and purple, that's strong thunderstorm activity. here is the deal. puerto rico is done with the warnings. tropical storm warnings cover haiti. there are no hurricane warnings out. they're expecting winds of 30-50 miles an hour. here is the track. it hasn't changed much. if it takes this track, they're not going to have any problems at the convention. remember, the convention can sustain winds of 96 miles an hour. if it were to be there, winds are only 80. that's sustained winds, yes. gusts would be on the higher end of that. but still well away from shore. it's too early to discount it completely, but historically
11:12 pm
most of the storms that slam into tampa either come from the gulf of mexico and move northeast ward or they clip western cuba and come in between cuba and cancun and move up. rarely do they get a direct hit from a storm over eastern cuba. we'll talk when the weekend. stay tuned. and roaches across from tyson's galleria. >> okay. coming up, our investigative reporter russ ptacek has the dirty details before you dine out this weekend, you'll want to hear what we found at some popular places around town in dc, maryland and virginia. plus this man is sharing his secrets for living a very, very long time. guess what, he's 105 today. how did he do it? let's wait around and find out.

11:15 pm
food dangers from threatening your health. inspectors cited this watering hole near national cathedral for imminent health hazards. something the manager didn't want to discuss. >> i don't understand what are we doing exactly. >> reporter: the health department closed the restaurant because of health violations and we wanted to see if you wanted to talk about it. >> i don't want to talk about it but it wasn't a health violation. >> reporter: she said they were operating without a current license but she said employees unable to keep hands clean because of no hot water. refrigerators as warm as 78 degrees and a food safety manager without proper paperwork. in montgomery county, el tiano was suspended for violations during a routine inspections. besides no certified food manager, they reported sewage backing up on to the kitchen floor and trouble with insect animal controls.
11:16 pm
more sewage problems and a citation at brother's chinese in wheaton for defying a closing order and continuing to operate after inspectors ordered it shut because the takeout was discharging sewage into an already grease clogged manhole. montgomery county records indicate the backup was so severe, sewage was spewing out of this manhole cover. they had to close the restaurant next door too, but the manager inside that stop says the sewage never backed up into his store. at this office building on reston parkway in reston, inspectors cited no food safety manager, food not date marked and risky temperatures. we went undercover seeing the deli still closed with a note saying sorry for the inconvenience. and roaches across from tyson's galleria. it happened here. the health department cited the restaurant because it didn't have a food safety manager on duty. that's the person responsible to keep roaches away from food. the person who has to maintain a communicable disease policy for
