An Autoimmune Disease is a condition in which ones own immune system mistakenly attacks the human body. The immune system under normal conditions protects the human body against diseases, foriegn particles/invaders, germs like bacteria and viruses. When our body senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of auto antibodies/fighter cells to attack the healthy cells, tissues, and organs. This may lead to an autoimmune disease. Autoimmune diseases can affect any part of the body.

Autoimmune diseases affect various cells, tissues, organs and organ systems. While some of these disorders are rare, others are most common and the leading causes of death and disability.

Genetics may be a major cause of autoimmune disorders but there are several environmental factors that lead as an important cause for autoimmune disorders. These majorly include exposure to solvents, chemicals, viral and bacterial infections, over exposure to sunlight etc.

There are many medicines that are currently used in treating some specific autoimmune disorders. While other medications aim at relieving symptoms like pain and inflammation, some treatment are used to target the disease process.
