    An autoimmune disease is a type of illness where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys its own healthy cells or tissues. This happens because the body misinterprets these normal cells as being foreign or harmful. There are many types of autoimmune diseases, which can affect various parts of the body. The causes of these diseases are often unknown, but can involve genetic, environmental, and hormonal factors.
