Brief Answer:
Please go through detailed answer dear.

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for choosing "Ask a Doctor" service for your query,
Have seen your details and I appreciate your concerns,
You test is positive for some auto immune diseases.
When a antigen(External agent) enters into your body;Body liberates antibodies against it(to capture it and destroy it).
However in some auto immune conditions these antibodies fails to differenciate between cells of body and outside hence they attack even the internal cells.These are autoimmune conditions.

You tested positive for some of them.
Hope explaination was simple and easy to understand.
Thank you!
