Autoimmune Conditions

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells of the body. Any organ or tissue can be affected leading to arthritis, lupus, myasthenia gravis and other inflammatory conditions. Why these diseases happen in more women than men is not clear, but research is offering helpful clues and better treatments. Click below for details on major autoimmune conditions affecting women.
