Autoimmunity, Part D

The incidence of autoimmune diseases is increasing worldwide, and
the search for better management of these diseases and even for a
cure is being pursued by scientists from many disciplines. Tools
from the areas of genetics, neuroscience, cell biology, virology,
and infectious disease are being applied to the problem and are
yielding useful results.

This is the fourth and final volume of a series on autoimmunity,
and findings related to particular clinical manifestations are
presented, particularly systemic lupus erythematosus, scleroderma,
rheumatoid arthritis, Sjogren's syndrome, antiphospholipid
antibodies, and infections and autoantibodies.

Part A presents new principles in autoimmunity and new
diagnostic tools; Part B focuses on genetics and advances in
treatment; and Part C begins the focus on the clinical venue.
