Zusammenfassung: | Autoimmune disorders and their manifestations can be very problematic to diagnose and manage. The symptoms can be ambiguous and debilitating. Early intervention is necessary to counter the unforgiving consequences of delayed intervention, such as loss of sight or hearing and destruction of affected tissues.
