In cases of immune system over activity, the body attacks and damages its own tissues (autoimmune diseases). Common autoimmune diseases include type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease.
The cause is generally unknown. Some autoimmune diseases such as lupus run in families, and certain cases may be triggered by infections or other environmental factors.
