'''Autoimmune lymphoproliferative sydrome''' is a human disease caused by failure of [[lymphocytes]] to die once they have finished doing their job. As a result, the [[spleen]] and [[lymph nodes]] grow large, and immune cells may attack the body's own tissues, a condition known as [[autoimmunity]]. | '''Autoimmune lymphoproliferative sydrome''' is a human disease caused by failure of [[lymphocytes]] to die once they have finished doing their job.
