When a person's body attacked his own cells or organs because he could not identify his own cells or organs as part of the body, it was said that he suffered from autoimmune diseases. Some of these diseases include lupus, arthritis, Graves disease (thyroid disease), scleroderma, myasthenia gravis, autoimmune thrombocytopenic purpura and many other diseases. In all these cases, there is an abnormal immune response to the various stimuli that cause the disease. In some cases, the resulting symptoms and signs are the first key to help doctors identify these diseases for treatment.
