autoimmune disease spectrum

An autoimmune disease spectrum refers to a range of conditions where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells. Instead of protecting us from infections, the immune system misidentifies normal tissues as threats. This spectrum includes various diseases, such as rheumatoid arthritis, lupus, and multiple sclerosis, each affecting different parts of the body. These conditions can vary widely in symptoms and severity, as well as how they are treated. Understanding this spectrum helps in recognizing the complexity and diversity of autoimmune diseases and highlights the need for personalized medical approaches.
