autoinflammatory diseases group

Autoinflammatory diseases are a group of disorders where the immune system mistakenly causes inflammation without an apparent infection or external cause. In healthy individuals, the immune response helps fight infections, but in these conditions, the immune system becomes overactive, leading to episodes of fever, swelling, and pain. They are typically inherited or linked to genetic mutations, causing the immune system's regulation to malfunction. These diseases often require targeted treatments to control inflammation and improve quality of life, and they are distinct from autoimmune diseases, which involve the immune system attacking the body's own tissues.
