Pediatric Autoimmune Disorders

Pediatric autoimmune disorders occur when a child's immune system mistakenly attacks their own body, thinking it is a foreign invader. This can lead to various health issues, depending on which part of the body is affected. In the field of pediatric allergy and immunology, these disorders are important because they can involve allergic reactions and immune dysfunction. Symptoms can vary widely and may include fatigue, rashes, or joint pain. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial to manage symptoms and improve the child's quality of life. Understanding these conditions helps in providing better care for affected children.
