Inflammatory Disease

And it's always so nice when we can find an infection in a patient that will just explain everything, but that is not always the case.

So the second main cause would be autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, which makes up about 20 to 30 percent of cases.

And so in this situation, the immune system is overreacting and attacking the body's tissues.

And so this can include conditions like adult onset stills disease, dermatomyositis, temporal arteritis, giant cell arteritis, lots of itis's.

And lupus.

And we really hope, we always hope that our immune system would always be nice to us, but sometimes it's not.

So yeah, so you have infectious and autoimmune and inflammatory diseases.

So what else do we have?
