Autoimmunity is a condition where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own tissues, leading to inflammation and damage. This is clinically significant as it underlies numerous disorders, such as rheumatoid arthritis and lupus, which can cause chronic pain and organ dysfunction. A key complication of autoimmunity is the potential for increased susceptibility to infections due to immune dysregulation, complicating patient management and treatment outcomes.
