Autoimmunity is a medical condition in which the body's immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells, tissues, and organs. It is a subset of Allergy and Immunology, which is the study of the body's immune system and its response to foreign substances. Autoimmune diseases can affect any part of the body, including the skin, joints, muscles, and organs. Symptoms vary depending on the type of autoimmune disease, but can include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and fever. Treatment for autoimmune diseases typically involves medications to suppress the immune system and reduce inflammation.
