Autoimmune disease:
The word “auto” is the Greek word for self. If a person has an
autoimmune disease, the immune system mistakenly attacks self,
targeting the cells, tissues, and organs of a person’s own body. A
collection of immune system cells and molecules at a target site is
broadly referred to as inflammation.
