Relationship btwn autoimmunedisorder and cytokine? as in: does having an a.d. raise/lower the risk of cytokine storm due to infection? anti inflam. diet beneficial for helping either?

Cytokine storm: Cytokine storm is caused by the release of over 150 proinflammatory products including cytokines. It is uncommon in autoimmune disorders unless an infection such as sars or swine flu or severe influenza is also present. Sometimes the cause is unclear. There is no confirmation that an anti-cytokine diet is helpful under those circumstances. Gemfibrozole, ok40 igg, anti tnf agents may help experimen.
