Infection and Autoimmune Disease
How infection can trigger autoimmune disease http://www.garvan.org.au/news-events/news/how-infection-can-trigger-autoimmune-disease.html Australian scientists have confirmed a ‘weak link’ in the immune system – identifying the exact conditions under which an infection can trigger an autoantibody response, a process not clearly understood until now. We … Continue reading
