Adult & Paediatrics Rheumatology
Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology is a super – speciality which deals with diseases arising out of disturbances in the immune system of the body. Our immune system is meant to protect us. However, when the immune system goes wrong, rather than protecting, it starts damaging the cells and tissues of the body and result in diseases which are broadly known as autoimmune diseases.
An autoimmune disease can simultaneously affect our skin, joints (causing arthritis), muscles (causing weakness), lung and kidney.
