Autoimmune and auto inflammatory diseases are a growing group of disorders caused by a dysregulation of the innate immune system leading to episodes of systemic inflammation.
They represent a group of diseases characterized by excessive autoimmune or inflammatory reaction leading to various organ damage and drop in patient's quality of life, usually underlined by particular genetic factors and environmental triggers.
The progress of these diseases is often evaluated in the form of activity scores.
A number of scores are available to predict the evolution of autoimmune autoinflammatory diseases.
For a long time, these pathologies have remained slightly explored because of their complex physiopathology and the absence of specific therapies.
In the last few years, significant progress has been made in terms of both pathophysiology and treatment.
Treatment with biological targeted therapies transformed the prognosis and survival of the patients, improved their quality of life and underlined the necessity of a global management of these patients.
In Armenia, the epidemiological elements of these pathologies are not known, nor are the circumstances of their discovery. The initial biological manifestations and the management of these patients are variable from one center to another, whether in terms of supportive or specific therapeutic elements.
