Rheumatoid arthritis: an immune disease in search of an etiology
Annals of Clinical and Laboratory Science
|September 1, 1975
Abstract:
The current knowledge of the immunologic and etiologic factors which play a role in rheumatoid arthritis is reviewed and extrapolated to the systemic effects of rheumatoid disease. The disease process is viewed as the incidental result of an atypical immuno-inflammatory mechanism initiated by an unidentified antigenic stimulus.
