Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease characterized mainly by the involvement of the spine but which may also affect other joints, the eye, and, in some cases, internal organs.

Although it happens infrequently, myositis is a term used to characterize any muscle inflammation that is associated with serious autoimmune diseases that cause persistent muscle inflammation, weakness, and pain.

Vascular inflammation is a hallmark of a wide range of rare diseases often referred to as vasculitis. Vasculitis causes the vessel walls to thicken, narrow, weaken, or even scar, which can impair the flow of blood and might harm the body’s organs and tissues.

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is an autoimmune illness that affects the joints and causes damage to the lining of the joint. The person with RA experiences pain, inflammation, and swelling in the affected joints.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is commonly called lupus, and it is a complex chronic autoimmune disease that may involve almost all parts of the body. In this condition, the immune system, which generally defends the body against infection and foreign invaders, mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and organs.
