A Correct answer
Explanation

Autoimmune thyroid disorders are conditions where the immune system attacks the thyroid gland. The immune system is the body's defense system against infections and diseases. A problem with the immune system may make the body attack even its own cells, including the thyroid gland. When this happens, the thyroid gland cannot work correctly. Autoimmune diseases are strongly associated with enteroviruses such as Coxsackie B virus.
