In other words, the body actually attacks its own cells. The immune system mistakes some part of the body as a pathogen and attacks it. The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression--medication which decreases the immune response. This book presents current research in the study of autoimmune disorders with a focus on autoimmune liver diseases; Graves hyperthyroidism; system lupus erythematosus; Behcet's disease; and Sjogren's syndrome.Immunology and Immune System DisordersAutoimmune diseasesAutoimmunityAutoimmune diseases.Autoimmunity.616.97/8Petrov Maria E1872068MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910971294403321Autoimmune disorders4481117UNINA
