Key points

  • Inflammatory conditions are a broad group of illnesses rather than a single diagnosis, and they can affect different organs or body systems.
  • Autoimmune diseases can cause inflammation when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy cells.
  • Affected body systems shape the symptoms, which may include pain, stiffness, swelling or problems with an involved organ.
