I am professionally engaged in the diagnosis and treatment of diseases of the immune system - immunodeficiencies, or immunodeficiency diseases. I am a staunch supporter of the theory of immunodeficiencies in explaining the development of immunodependent pathologies: infectious, autoimmune, allergic, immunoinflammatory, oncological. In accordance with this, I am the author of a number of scientific monographs on human immunodeficiency diseases and proposed a classification of minor primary human immunodeficiencies.

With an immune-dependent pathology, it is often possible to find an etiological factor, therefore, if you want to receive not only a syndromic diagnosis, but also find the cause of the disease and receive etiotropic treatment, you are exactly to me. Watch my lectures on this topic to understand the relationship between immunodeficiencies and immune-dependent complications, as well as the possibilities of immunotherapy in such cases: “Mannose-binding protein deficiency”, “Selective NK cell deficiency”, “Clinic, diagnosis and treatment of selective IgE deficiency in humans”.

I am the author of the original clinical and radiological classification of herpesvirus neuroinfections, which I widely use in my practice. Familiarize yourself with this classification in issues 53 and 54–55 of the journal Clinical Immunology. Allergology. Infectology". He also wrote guidelines for the treatment of human herpesvirus infections. Herpesvirus infections, especially herpesviruses 6 and 7, can cause a number of mental disorders in humans (in particular chronic fatigue syndrome), and are also involved in the induction of epilepsy. How it happens, listen to the lecture.

An important problem is the autoimmune neuropsychiatric disorder associated with streptococcal infection (PANDAS in children and adults), which can manifest itself as an obsessive-compulsive syndrome, hyperkinesis (violent movements (tics), dystonia, etc.), psychosis, autism spectrum disorders. I am the author of a special lecture dedicated to this problem.

I am also interested in autoimmune lesions of the peripheral nervous system, such as Guillain-Barré syndrome, chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy, multifocal motor neuropathy, etc. Watch a lecture on this subject. I also deal with myasthenia gravis and myasthenic syndromes and also have a special lecture. And this is a lecture about autoimmune muscle lesions (dermatomyositis, polymyositis, necrotizing myopathy, etc.), which are also the object of my clinical work.

I am a specialist in the field of immunotherapy for diseases of various organs and systems of the human body. Accordingly, I am the author of a substantial monograph on immunotherapy. Watch my lecture on indications for the use of immunotherapeutic drugs in neurology according to evidence-based medicine.
