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.
Autoimmune disease is the result of the body's immune system targeting and attacking its own tissues in the same way that it would normally tackle infection. The tissues affected become inflamed and damaged.
