An organ-specific disease is one in which an immune response is directed toward antigens in a single organ.

KumarDhruv2003: When a microbe infects the specific organ of an individual in a particular type of disease, it is termed as organ specific manifestation. For example, in tuberculosis the microbe infects the specific organ i.e. lungs of an individual.
