Autoimmune Disorder
occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues, leading to various health issues
What is Autoimmune Disorder ?
An autoimmune disorder is a condition in which the body's immune system, which is designed to defend against harmful foreign substances like bacteria and viruses, mistakenly targets and attacks its own healthy cells and tissues. In a healthy immune system, the body can differentiate between its own cells ("self") and foreign cells ("non-self"). However, in autoimmune disorders, this recognition process goes awry, leading the immune system to attack normal tissues as if they were foreign invaders.
