Neuroimmune disease

From MEpedia, a crowd-sourced encyclopedia of ME and CFS science and history

Neuroimmune disease (disorder, syndrome, or condition) is an umbrella term for a group of certain diseases involving dysfunction of both the immune system and the nervous system.[1] It is not one of the World Health Organization's (WHO) ICD-10 classifications of disease,[2] but is used to refer to neurological diseases which are also recognized as immune or autoimmune diseases.[3]

Neuroimmune disorders[edit | edit source]

Disorders Commonly Found In Adults:

Potential neuroimmune disorders[edit | edit source]

These disorders have considerable evidence of a neuroimmune disease process, but are not widely accepted as neuroimmune conditions.

Two neuroimmune research units, one in Queensland, Australia and one in Florida, US, focus prominently on research into ME/CFS and multiple sclerosis.[1][12]

Diseases which may have neuroimmune symptoms[edit | edit source]

A wide range of diseases have been proposed as neuroimmune diseases, but evidence is limited and most of those conditions are not recognized as having prominent immune symptoms or are not currently classed as neurological diseases.

Immune symptoms in ME/CFS[edit | edit source]

ME/CFS is classified as a neurological disorder by the World Health Organization, and the Canadian Consensus Criteria recognizes a range of immune symptoms, which are used in diagnosis.

The more commonly used Fukuda criteria for chronic fatigue syndrome does not require any immune symptoms for diagnosis, but both swollen lymph nodes and frequent sore throat are diagnostic symptoms.

International Classification of Diseases (ICD) - A system of medical diagnostic codes, created by the World Health Organization (WHO), to classify diseases and other health related conditions for the purpose of international diagnostic consistency. By having common diagnostic codes around the world, health researchers are better able to quantify and track disease burdens. The most current version is called ICD-11. (Learn more: www.who.int)
