What are Autoinflammatory Diseases
“Autoinflammatory diseases are a newly described group of genetic diseases where the immune system attacks one’s tissues and they are different from conventional autoimmune diseases. Our understanding of these diseases is only expanding and there is an urgent need to increase awareness regarding these diseases in our country. Prof. Marco Gattorno is a leading expert in this field and his deliberations would immensely benefit patients in India”, said Dr. Sagar Bhattad, Consultant, Pediatric Rheumatologist and Immunologist at Aster CMI Hospital, Bangalore.Dr. Bhattad, Organizing Secretary, further stated, “Two children with very rare autoinflammatory diseases inaugurated the function.
