Glossary May 1998 NIH Publication No. 98-4273 Understanding Autoimmune Diseases Preface This booklet contains information about autoimmune diseases . You will not find everything there is to know about autoimmune diseases here, however. In fact, the information presented here may prompt you to think of more questions about autoimmune diseases because autoimmune diseases are complex. We have tried to anticipate which terms will need further definition and clarification. Those terms, when they first appear in the text, are in italics. Italicized words and phrases are defined in the Glossary at the end of the booklet. You will find more in-depth and detailed resources at your local library or through your health care provider. The Internet is a valuable source of information as well. Start by doing a search on the National Institutes of Health (NIH) Web site at http://www.nih.gov

General Discussion
Mixed connective tissue disease (MTCD) is a rare connective tissue disorder. MCTD is used to describe what may be an overlapping group of connective tissue disorders that cannot be diagnosed in more specific terms. These disorders include systemic lupus erythematosus, polymyositis, and scleroderma. Individuals with MCTD have symptoms of each of these disorders including arthritic, cardiac, pulmonary and skin manifestations; kidney disease; muscle weakness; and dysfunction of the esophagus. The exact cause of mixed connective tissue disease is unknown.

How do you know if you have Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder? What causes Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder? ... VIVIENDO CON EMTC What is Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder?
Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder is an autoimmune process with symptoms of Scleroderma, Myositis, Systemic Lupus Erythematosus , Rheumatoid Arthritis and/or other autoimmune diseases. It is a description of a group of symptoms occurring together. This is different from a diagnosis that describes the underlying process. It is a disorder of the immune system, which normally functions to protect the body against invading infections and cancers, and toxins. In Mixed Connective Tissue Disorder, as in other autoimmune diseases parts of the complex immune system is over-active and produces increased amounts of abnormal antibodies that attack the patient's own organs. Sometimes MCTD is called Overlap Syndrome or Undifferentiated Mix Connective Tissue Disorder. Some writers discriminate between them claiming that each of these are different. Some argue MCTD is not a distinct entity at all, and is just one of the forms of Lupus or Scleroderma.
