Significance of Autoimmune disease
Autoimmune disease, across various disciplines, consistently refers to a condition where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. This leads to inflammation and damage, resulting in a spectrum of health issues. Examples mentioned include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, multiple sclerosis, and systemic lupus erythematosus. The underlying cause is the immune system's dysregulation, leading to self-reactivity and tissue injury.
