Women and Autoimmune Disease

Ă propos de ce livre
From an internationally recognized MD, a "clearly-written" book on autoimmune disease "should be extremely useful to people with these difficult ailments" ( Publishers Weekly ). Autoimmune diseasesâincluding chronic fatigue syndrome, vasculitis, juvenile diabetes, alopecia, Graves' disease, Sjogren's syndrome, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and multiple sclerosisâare among the most devastating conditions afflicting women today and the most resistant to diagnosis and treatment. In all of them, the body's immune system begins to attack healthy and normally functioning cells. And one of the biggest puzzles is why 80 percent of autoimmune disease sufferers are women. In this groundbreaking book, world-class immunologist Dr. Robert Lahita brings years of intensive research, patient care, and diagnostics to shed light on the mysteries of these conditions, with a particular focus on how they affectâand how he treatsâwomen. Through case studies, he reveals the early warning signs, symptoms, diagnostic processes, and the most innovative treatments for all the most commonâand many of the less well knownâautoimmune diseases. He offers a scientifically sound and sensitive work that is the best resource available to help understand these perplexing and debilitating diseases.
