Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own cells and tissues, leading to conditions like rheumatoid Arthritis or lupus. In contrast, immunodeficiency diseases result from a weakened immune system that fails to effectively combat infections, which can be due to genetic factors (like SCID) or acquired factors (like HIV/AIDS). Essentially, autoimmune diseases involve an overactive immune response, while immunodeficiency diseases involve an underactive one.
