Autoimmune diseases are conditions in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, and organs [1]. Common symptoms of autoimmune disease include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes or lesions, fever, and swollen glands [2]. There are over 80 types of autoimmune diseases that can affect different parts of the body such as joints (rheumatoid arthritis), muscles (myasthenia gravis), endocrine glands (type 1 diabetes) and connective tissue (lupus) [3][4][5][6]. Causes for these disorders vary but may be due to genetic factors or environmental triggers such as infections or certain medications [7][8][9]. Treatment options depend on the type of autoimmune disorder but typically involve immunosuppressive drugs to reduce inflammation and suppress the immune system.

Autoimmune diseases are conditions in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue. Examples of autoimmune diseases include type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis. Treatment for these conditions typically involves medications to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
