The authors, Drs Josep Dalmau and Francesc Graus, have played pivotal roles in the discovery of these diseases.

Clinical descriptions are straightforward, emphasizing distinctive diagnostic clues for each disease.

The strengths and weaknesses of diagnostic tests and clinical criteria are discussed extensively, as well as the best evidence supporting the use of available treatments.

There is an up-to-date description of immunological triggers and comorbidities, and well-illustrated and clearly summarized pathogenic mechanisms and disease models.
