Immune system attacking the body
If a disease or reaction is autoimmune, the immune system mistakenly attacks the body itself.
Vzorec užití:
autoimmune [disease/condition/response]
Častá chyba:
Do not use autoimmune to mean simply having a weak immune system; that is usually immunocompromised. The standard spelling is autoimmune, not auto-immune.
Synonyma
self-reactive (More technical; often used for immune cells or antibodies that react against the body.)
|
immune-mediated (Broader; caused by immune-system activity, not necessarily by self-attack.)
|
autoaggressive (Rare and technical; used in some medical contexts for self-attacking immune activity.)
Antonyma
nonautoimmune (Not involving an immune attack on the body's own tissues.)
|
infectious (Caused by germs such as bacteria or viruses, rather than by self-directed immune activity.)
