Interdisciplinary Rheumatology: Rheumatology and Infectious Diseases

Omtale

Rheumatologists frequently confront infections that complicate, mimic, or arise from the treatment of autoimmune disease, demanding careful distinction from disease flare and thoughtful management of immunosuppression. Infectious disease specialists express a reciprocal need: deepening their understanding of immune dysregulation, immunomodulatory therapies, and the systemic manifestations that shape outcomes in rheumatic disease. Led by an international team of editors with in-depth knowledge and informed by cutting-edge research, this volume in the Interdisciplinary Rheumatology series brings the two disciplines into dialogue, offering a nuanced, expert synthesis at the interface of autoimmunity and infection.
