Autoimmune diseases occur when the immune system mistakenly attacks the body's own structures, triggering inflammation. This inflammation can affect almost any organ system—e.g., joints, muscles, skin, blood vessels, or internal organs—and often presents with nonspecific symptoms at first, such as joint pain, swelling, morning stiffness, severe fatigue, fever, skin changes, or unexplained inflammation markers.

At MEDIZINICUM Othmarschen , we take your symptoms seriously and support you with a structured, patient-oriented initial assessment: We carefully record your symptoms, classify findings, and—depending on the issue—initiate targeted diagnostics and next steps. Since many rheumatic and autoimmune diseases occur as systemic diseases and can affect several organs at the same time, close, interdisciplinary cooperation is particularly important.

Note: Advanced diagnostics and therapy at Stephansplatz
For comprehensive further clarification and specialized treatment, the MEDIZINICUM Group offers the option of referral to the Center for Rheumatology & Clinical Immunology at Stephansplatz. There, diagnostics are coordinated on an interdisciplinary basis and, if necessary, coordinated with other specialist departments in order to quickly clarify the situation and plan an individualized, clearly explained therapy.

In Othmarschen, you benefit from reliable access and good coordination—and, if necessary, from the specialized expertise at Stephansplatz within the MEDIZINICUM network.
