Specificatii
Autoimmune diseases, which affect 5 to 10 percent of the
population, are as unpredictable in their course as they are
paradoxical in their cause. They produce persistent suffering as
they follow a drawn-out, often lifelong, pattern of remission and
recurrence. Multiple sclerosis, lupus, rheumatoid arthritis, and
type 1 diabetes--the diseases considered in this book--are but a
handful of the conditions that can develop when the immune system
goes awry. Intolerant Bodies is a unique collaboration between Ian
Mackay, one of the prominent founders of clinical immunology, and
Warwick Anderson, a leading historian of twentieth-century
biomedical science. The authors narrate the changing scientific
understanding of the cause of autoimmunity and explore the
significance of having a disease in which one's body turns on
itself. The book unfolds as a biography of a relatively new concept
of pathogenesis, one that was accepted only in the 1950s.In their
description of the onset, symptoms, and course of autoimmune
diseases, Anderson and Mackay quote from the writings of Charles
Dickens, Edgar Allan Poe, Joseph Heller, Flannery O'Connor, and
other famous people who commented on or grappled with autoimmune
disease. The authors also assess the work of the dedicated
researchers and physicians who have struggled to understand the
mysteries of autoimmunity. Connecting laboratory research, clinical
medicine, social theory, and lived experience, Intolerant Bodies
reveals how doctors and patients have come to terms, often
reluctantly, with this novel and puzzling mechanism of disease
causation.
