Collagen vascular disease

Collagen vascular diseases are autoimmune diseases that occur when the body's immune system attacks its own skin, tissues and organs. They may involve arthritis and inflammation of arteries in the tissues. People who developed these disorders were previously said to have "connective tissue" or "collagen vascular" disease. We now have names for many specific conditions such as: Ankylosing spondylitis.
