Immunopathology and Laboratory Diagnosis of Rheumatoid Arthritis: A Review of Literature

/in /by

This review explores rheumatoid arthritis, an autoimmune disorder whose immunopathology involves a convergence of genetic susceptibility (notably HLA-DRB1 shared epitope alleles) and environmental exposures (smoking, infections) leading to an aberrant immune response. RA is a prevalent autoimmune disease globally, and though historically considered uncommon in Africa, emerging data show it is an important and likely […]

Chronic Inflammatory Response Syndrome (CIRS): A Review of Diagnosis, Immunological Mechanisms and Treatment Challenges
