The Links Between Autoimmunity and Infections: Part 3

Autoimmune diseases are often viewed as conditions in which the immune system mistakenly attacks the body. But could underlying infections be one of the missing pieces of the puzzle?

In this webinar, Gilian Crowther, AONM’s Director of Research and an experienced Nutritional Therapist, is joined by Dr. Athanasios Vergopoulos, a medical doctor and specialist in laboratory medicine who also serves as Medical Director for ArminLabs, to explore the growing body of evidence linking chronic infections with the development and progression of autoimmune diseases.

Drawing on the latest scientific research, Dr. Vergopoulos and Gilian will discuss how identifying and addressing underlying infections may help practitioners better understand and support individuals with autoimmune conditions.

In this third part of the series, you’ll discover:

• The evidence linking infections with autoimmune diseases
• The potential role of infections in antiphospholipid syndrome, PANS/PANDAS, autoimmune hepatitis, immune thrombocytopenia (ITP), and vasculitis
• Laboratory testing that can help identify underlying infectious triggers
• How this knowledge can inform a more personalised approach to patient care

Whether you’re a healthcare practitioner looking to deepen your understanding of autoimmunity, or you’re interested in the emerging research surrounding infectious drivers of chronic disease, this webinar offers an evidence-informed perspective on an increasingly important area of functional and nutritional medicine.
