autoimmune disease
An autoimmune disease is a type of illness where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own healthy cells or tissues. This happens because the body misinterprets these normal cells as being foreign or harmful. There are many types of autoimmune diseases, which can affect various parts of the body. The causes of these diseases are often unknown, but can involve genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors.

Autoimmune Disease
Autoimmune diseases arise from an inappropriate immune response of the body against substances and tissues normally present in the body. This may be restricted to certain organs or involve a particular tissue in different places. The treatment of autoimmune diseases is typically with immunosuppression—medication that decreases the immune response. A large number of autoimmune diseases are recognised.
