Summary:

This new title is designed to bring together necessary and valuable information for the millions of individuals and their families who are suffering from and affected by autoimmune disorders. With more than 24 million people in the U.S. affected by one of at least 80 types of autoimmune disorders, this category of conditions were first described in the early 1900s, and are caused by an abnormal immune response to a functional body part. The cause is generally unknown, and nearly any body part can be affected. The latest title in this new health series, Autoimmune Disorders Handbook & Resource Guide includes several major sections: valuable educational material and statistics; information on the two broad types of autoimmune diseases -- systemic and organ-specific; and individual chapters on the most prevalent autoimmune diseases.

Contents:

Section 1. Studies & statistics about autoimmune diseases
