Abstract:
Autoimmune disease is a disease caused by the body's immune system being misdirected to attack the host itself. Patients with this type of diseases are in poor general condition, and are affected by vascular and skin tissue lesions, and therapeutic drugs. Once the skin is broken, chronic wounds that do not heal could easily develop. This type of wounds is difficult to treat and requires joint diagnosis and treatment of multidisciplinary physicians. Therefore, this article reviews the advances on research and treatment of autoimmune disease-related chronic wounds in order to provide reference for their clinical treatment.
