<b>Review of Toxins Associated with Autoimmune Diseases</b>

Aim of this article is to review the literature about the toxins that might be involved in the pathogenesis of autoimmune diseases. Almost 70% of all autoimmune diseases are caused by environmental factors, including toxic chemicals. Genetic factors contribute to approximately 30% of all autoimmune diseases.
