Is there a good general pop-science book about autoimmune diseases in general (the entire category not just specific ones... there seem to be about a hundred conditions classified as that)

What kind of info are you looking for? Practical “doctor thinks it may be...” or you seeing as I do, a problem worth a life’s work?

I think the category of auto immune disease is undergoing a redefinition. Some may be caused by stealth infections, others by disruptions of the microbiome. For an overview of stealth infection read Plague Time by Paul Ewald. For microbiome read I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong.

Pop science? No. Couple good medical texts. I develop tests for them, and it’s a sprawl.
