Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues because it does not recognize them as "self." This can result in inflammation and tissue damage. They are not caused by abnormal leukocytes or overexposure to self-antigens, and they are not more common in men than women (in fact, many autoimmune diseases are more common in women).
