Autoimmune Diseases

Autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body.

The immune system normally protects against germs such as bacteria and viruses. When he detects these foreign invaders, he sends an army of hunting cells to attack them.

Normally, the immune system can tell the difference between foreign cells and your own cells.

In an autoimmune disease, the immune system considers a part of your body, like your joints or your skin, as foreign. It releases proteins called autoantibodies that attack healthy cells.

Some autoimmune diseases target only one organ. Type 1 diabetes damages the pancreas. Other diseases, such as systemic lupus erythematosus (LED), affect the whole body.
