Although your immune system is designed to protect you from invading organisms, it does not always function perfectly. In some cases, it is not able to fight off an infection without some extra help. In other cases, the immune system becomes confused and attacks the body that it is supposed to defend, causing an autoimmune disease. At Mercy's pediatric rheumatology clinic in Springfield MO on S. Fremont, we are able to evaluate, diagnose, and treat pediatric patients with any of these issues.
Evaluation of suspected autoimmune or autoinflammatory diseases and periodic fever syndromes
