conditions where immune system attacks body's own tissues

Inflammatory diseases are conditions where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues, leading to inflammation. This can cause symptoms like redness, swelling, pain, and loss of function in the affected areas. Examples include rheumatoid arthritis, psoriasis, and inflammatory bowel disease. These diseases can affect various organs and systems, and managing them often requires a combination of medication, lifestyle changes, and sometimes surgery.
