ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure concerns the treatment of a patient with autoimmune disease, including AIDS, by neutralizing, removing or inhibiting different types of interferons, tumor necrosis factor, HLA class II antigens, IgE, and other pathological factors and/or their receptors, as well as neutralizing, removing or inhibiting autoantibodies, including antibodies to target cells, CD4 cells and DNA. Treatment comprises administration of an autoimmune inhibitor, or extracorporeal exposure of the patient's fluid to an immunosorbent comprising an autoimmune inhibitor, followed by return of the treated fluid to the patient, or it comprises a combined therapy involving extracorporeal immunosorption in conjunction with the administration of an autoimmune inhibitor.
