Since the First Edition of The Autoimmune Diseases was published in 1985, interest as well as knowledge about autoimmune diseases has greatly increased. This edition incorporates new material and combines the basic aspects of autoimmunity with discussion of specific autoimmune diseases in humans. It discusses the biological basis of disease at genetic, molecular, cellular, and epidemiologic levels. In addition to a comprehensive discussion of various autoimmune diseases and organ systems, the editors also cover the role of autoimmunity in cancer, AIDS, and aging.
