Abstract

An autoimmune disorder is the body’s reaction to an unknown stimulus causing the overproduction of antibodies that are directed against body tissue (Wallace, 1995). Although most autoimmune diseases are associated with significant and chronic morbidity and disability, epidemiological studies are generally limited to a few of the more prevalent disorders such as rheumatoid arthritis or diabetes mellitus. Recent estimates indicate that 1 in 31 individuals in the United States currently are diagnosed with an autoimmune disease, with women at higher risk than men (Jacobson, Gange, Rose, & Graham, 1997).
