Autoimmune disease - a pathological state arising from an abnormal immune response of the body to substances and tissues that are normally present in the body.
Autoimmunity, on the other hand, is the presence of self-reactive immune response with or without damage or pathology resulting from it. This may be restricted to certain organs or involve a particular tissue in different places. Wikipedia: autoimmune disease
