About Immune System Disorder

Immune system disorder management by an Internal Medicine specialist involves a comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approach to conditions where the immune system malfunctions. This includes both overactive responses (autoimmune diseases like lupus or rheumatoid arthritis) and underactive responses (immunodeficiencies). The specialist conducts a thorough evaluation through detailed patient history, physical examination, and advanced laboratory tests to identify specific immune dysfunctions. Treatment is highly personalized, often involving immunomodulatory medications, lifestyle modifications, and patient education to manage symptoms, prevent complications, and improve quality of life. This holistic care focuses on long-term management and monitoring of these complex, chronic conditions.

PATIENT REVIEW

Pari Chopra, a 28-year-old freelance graphic...

Pari Chopra, a 28-year-old freelance graphic designer, had always been active and health-conscious. Over the past year, she began experiencing a relentless cycle of extreme fatigue, low-grade fevers, and painful mouth ulcers that made eating difficult. Her joints ached, and a persistent butterfly-shaped rash appeared across her cheeks and nose. After months of dismissing it as stress, a severe flare-up left her bedridden. Her primary care physician, concerned by her symptoms and a positive ANA test, referred her to Dr. Sharma, a rheumatologist. Dr. Sharma diagnosed her with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE). The treatment began with a course of hydroxychloroquine and a short-term, low-dose corticosteroid to control the acute flare. The initial weeks were challenging; the steroids caused mood swings and insomnia, while Pari anxiously waited for the hydroxychloroquine to take full effect. After three months, the fatigue began to lift, the rash faded, and her joint pain became manageable. Emotionally, Pari journeyed from fear and frustration, grieving her old, energetic self, to cautious optimism. Learning to pace herself and manage her condition through medication and lifestyle changes, she has regained control and is slowly returning to her creative work, now with a deeper appreciation for her body's signals.
