There are many forms of arthritis that are Autoimmune diseases Like for example rheumatoid arthritis's. This is a disease where the immune system of the body mistakenly attacks tissue in joints and other organs and part of the body. However this is not the case in all forms of arthritis For example osteoarthritis is a disease where joints are effected by wear tear and trauma and not as a result of inflammation caused by the immune system.
