Note(s) : Includes bibliographical references and index
According to the Autoimmune Diseases Coordinating Committee (ADCC), between 14.7 and
23.5 million people in the USA-- up to eight percent of the population -- are affected
by autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases are a family of more than 100 chronic,
and often disabling, illnesses that develop when underlying defects in the immune
system lead the body to attack its own organs, tissues, and cells. In this book, the
editors have gathered in a comprehensive handbook a critical review of more than 100
autoimmune diseases, divided into two main groups, namely systemic and organ-specific
autoimmune diseases. A contemporary overview of these conditions with special emphasis
on diagnosis is presented. Each chapter contains the essential information required
by attending physicians as well as bench scientists to understand the definition of
a specific autoimmune disease, the diagnostic criteria, and the treatment
