Autoimmune disease and diagnosis

No items found.

This sheet explores the complexity of autoimmune disease diagnosis with regard to the potential overlap of signs and symptoms, and how haematological and immunological data can help to generate patient profiles leading to diagnosis. This sheet also focuses on the generation and analysis of ELISA data to investigate patient serum IgG levels. Students are ultimately presented with a large panel of patient data to develop the skill of identifying trends in large data sets.
