Immune system disorders either cause low activity or over activity to the immune system .for over activity it damages its own tissues this disease mainly causes the body to decrease the ability to fight or causes infection.
When it causes infection it produces unknown trigger in response to it the immune system began to produce antibodies and these antibodies instead of fighting with foreign it attacks its own tissues.
We can treat these diseases by reducing auto immune activity,Some examples of these diseases include
