Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue, “Immune-Mediated Diseases: Diagnosis and Management”, focuses on the advancements in diagnosing immune-mediated diseases. This compilation of articles delves into the diagnostic challenges and latest techniques employed in the identification of immune-mediated pathologies. This Special Issue presents a comprehensive overview of the clinical manifestations and symptoms associated with various immune-mediated conditions, including autoimmune diseases, inflammatory disorders, and allergic reactions. It explores the role of biomarkers, genetic testing, and immunological assays in the diagnosis of these diseases, discussing their strengths, limitations, and potential applications. The articles also highlight the importance of a multidisciplinary approach in diagnosing immune-mediated diseases, emphasizing the need for collaboration between clinicians, immunologists, and pathologists. This Special Issue provides valuable insights into the latest diagnostic techniques and strategies for immune-mediated diseases, serving as a useful resource for clinicians and researchers seeking to improve the accuracy and efficiency of diagnosis.
