A member asked:

I want to know about autoimmune disorders?

Dr. John Scuba answered

Specializes in Oral and Maxillofacial Surgery

Autoimmune: There is no way one can learn about autoimmune disorders without spending some time learning about a normal immune system. Find a basic book on the immune system, read it, and then delve into immunity disorders where there is failure of the system to recognize tissues as "self". That is what autoimmune disorders are all about
