Autoimmune Disease - Classification

Classification

It is possible to classify autoimmune diseases by corresponding type of hypersensitivity: type II, type III, or type IV. (No type of autoimmune disease mimics type I hypersensitivity.)

There is continuing debate about when a disease should be considered autoimmune, leading to different criteria such as Witebsky's postulates.

This is an incomplete list, which may never be able to satisfy particular standards for completeness. You can help by expanding it with reliably sourced entries.
