Roitt avait attiré l'attention [...] sur la distinction qu'il convenait de faire entre maladies auto-immunes non spécifiques d'organe (touchant éventuellement plusieurs organes) et les maladies spécifiques d'organe. Cette distinction reste valable aujourd'hui si on fait entrer dans la première catégorie les cytopénies auto-immunes et la polyarthrite rhumatoïde qui sont pourtant souvent restreintes à un seul organe ou à une seule lignée cellulaire. 1, record 1, French, - maladie%20auto%2Dimmune%20sp%C3%A9cifique%20d%27organe
