What It Is?

The immune system is designed to protect the body by identifying and destroying harmful invaders like bacteria or viruses. In autoimmune responses, this system malfunctions, targeting healthy cells or proteins as though they were threats. The exact cause is often unclear but may involve genetic predisposition, environmental factors, infections, or certain medications triggering the response.

Clinical signs?

Clinical signs of an autoimmune response vary depending on the condition. Still, they may include lethargy, weakness, fever, pale gums, bruising, skin lesions, hair loss, joint pain, stiffness, difficulty breathing, or organ dysfunction.
