Overview

 and autoimmune conditions, from rheumatoid arthritis and lupus (SLE) to gout, vasculitis, and spondyloarthritis. With over 20 years of clinical experience, Dr. Arun Baby is a Consultant in the Department of Rheumatology and Clinical Immunology at Apollo Adlux Hospital. He completed his MBBS at Government Medical College, Calicut, his MD in General Medicine at Christian Medical College, Ludhiana, and his DM in Clinical Immunology and Rheumatology at Nizam's Institute of Medical Sciences (NIMS), Hyderabad, one of India's most respected centres for super-specialist training in this field.
