An autoimmune disease is a condition in which your immune system mistakenly attacks your body. The immune system normally guards against germs like bacteria and viruses. When it senses these foreign invaders, it sends out an army of fighter cells to attack them.
An autoimmune disease is a disease where the body attacks itself by means of antibodies. One consequence of the body attacking itself is inflammation in areas of the body that aren't injured or damaged.
