ABSTRACT

Intestinal microbes and the human immune system are symbiotic and interact with each other. Previous studies have shown that the occurrence of autoimmune diseases such as inflammatory bowel disease, rheumatoid arthritis, and systemic lupus erythematosus is related to changes in the intestinal microbiota. Detection and change have a certain diagnostic value and therapeutic effect. The composition of intestinal microbiota in patients with various autoimmune diseases is different from that of healthy people. Through diet and drug regulation, rebuilding the intestinal micro-ecology will help improve the disease. This paper reviews the role of gut microbiota in systemic lupus erythematosus, rheumatoid arthritis, spondylarthritis, and inflammatory bowel disease, as well as current advances in disease diagnosis and treatment.
