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. 410 0$aImmunology and Immune System Disorders 606 $aAutoimmune diseases 606 $aAutoimmunity 615 0$aAutoimmune diseases. 615 0$aAutoimmunity. 676 $a616.97/8 701 $aPetrov$b Maria E$01872068 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910971294403321 996 $aAutoimmune disorders$94481117 997 $aUNINA
