Autoimmune diseases (AD) represent usually a big challenge for the general physician (GP) and are often under diagnosed because of their rarity and their complex clinical symptoms. Even though AD are rapidly suspected, the GP is often exposed to the difficulty of screening and the complexity of the various biological tests at his disposal. This article propose the way to simplify the primary diagnostic approach of AD which often need a further specialized counseling necessary to determine the therapy.
