Abstract

The autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), also known as Shoenfeld’s syndrome, encompasses several autoimmune conditions andphenomena that are induced following the exposure to substances with adjuvant activity. The disease spectrum is heterogeneous in respect to clinical presentation as well as severity of the clinical manifestations. Some genetically predisposed individuals can develop generalized non-specific symptoms, autoantibody production, new onset, or worsening of disease presentation. In this review, we focus on the current knowledge presented in the literature on ASIA syndrome, increasing awareness about the basic concepts and highlight the amount of data accumulated in the last few years concerning the relationship between various adjuvants and autoimmunity.
