Infection and Autoimmunity

Infection and Autoimmunity, Third Edition updates on new advances taken from recent and leading papers on 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. The addition and extension on SARS-CoV-2/COVID-19 and autoimmunity is pivotal for this update as the COVID-19 pandemic is still emerging. Moreover, a respected part is dedicated on SARS-CoV-2 vaccines and autoimmunity. Fully revised and updated to include the latest research in the field, this book encompasses the different mechanisms involved in infection-autoimmunity association and induction.

In 2020, we lost Noel Rose, co-editor of the classic Autoimmunity and Infection. To honor and respect his work, a group of experts in the field took the initiative to make this book perpetual. As medical students, practitioners and academic staff in medical schools across the world are enthusiastic in searching for better understanding of the correlation between infection and autoimmunity in general, this continuation of the series is dedicated to his work.
