Other examples of autoimmune diseases include rheumatoid arthritis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, systemic lupus erythematosus, type 1 diabetes mellitus, and many others.

According to the American Autoimmune Related Diseases Association, more than 23.5 million Americans are living with some form of autoimmune disease.
