Which of the following are Autoimmune disorders? A. Myasthenia gravis B. Rheumatoid arthritis C. Gout D. Muscular dystrophy E. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE)
To solve this problem, we need to identify which of the given conditions are autoimmune disorders. Let's analyze each condition:A. Myasthenia gravis: - Myasthenia gravis is an autoimmune disorder where antibodies attack the communication between nerves and muscles, leading to muscle weakness. - Therefore, it is an autoimmune disorder.B. Rheumatoid arthritis: - Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disorder characterized by inflammation of the joints due to the immune system attacking the body's own tissues. - Therefore, it is an autoimmune disorder.C. Gout: - Gout is a type of arthritis caused by the accumulation of uric acid crystals in the joints. It is not an autoimmune disorder.D. Muscular dystrophy: - Muscular dystrophy is a group of genetic disorders that cause muscle weakness and degeneration. It is not an autoimmune disorder.E. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE): - SLE is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks its own tissues, affecting multiple organs. - Therefore, it is an autoimmune disorder.Based on the analysis, the autoimmune disorders are:A. Myasthenia gravis, B. Rheumatoid arthritis, and E. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).This corresponds to Option 4: A, B and E only.
