Infection and Autoimmunity

In 2020 we lost Noel Rose, co-editor of the classic Autoimmunity and Infection. To the honour and respect his work, a group of experts in the field took the initiative to make this book perpetual. The Third Edition of Infection and Autoimmunity updates all the recent and leading papers on infection and autoimmunity, this in addition to a large piece which is dedicated to the correlation between SARS-CoV-2 infection and autoimmunity. From the very beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic numerous papers have been published including studies from our group on COVID-19 and autoimmunity and therefore this knowledge is implemented into this new edition. The addition and extension on SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 and autoimmunity is pivotal for the Third Edition of the book while COVID-19 pandemic is still emerging. Moreover, a respected part is dedicated on SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and autoimmunity. Medical students, practitioners as well as academic staff in medical schools across the world are enthusiastic in searching for better understanding of the correlation between infection and autoimmunity in general, and the long-term effects of SARS-CoV-2 and COVID-19 on the immune system in particular, especially in terms of autoimmunity related to the virus and vaccine altogether. Fully revised and updated to include the latest research in the field, Infections and Autoimmunity, Third Edition encompasses the different mechanisms involved in the infection-autoimmunity association and induction. Fully revised and updated by a global group of experts, in dedication and honour of Noel Rose Includes 55 completely updated chapters and, 1 extra section including 6 new chapters Is the only book directed specifically at the interactions between infectious agents and autoimmunity Describes the prevalence and incidence of the global issues and current therapeutic approaches Presents the measures for infection control Brings the reader up to date and allows easy access to individual topics in one place
