While some drugs have good evidence of association with DIL, there are case reports implicating several other drugs as a possible cause of DIL. In addition, Several herbal medications have also been reported to cause a lupus-like syndrome. Procainamide and hydralazine have the highest incidence of causing DIL, with risks reported as high as 30% with procainamide and 5% to 10% with hydralazine. All anti-TNF agents have been associated with DIL, with the risk being higher with etanercept and infliximab.

'''Drug-induced lupus erythematosus''' (DIL or DILE) is an [[autoimmune]] disorder (similar to [[systemic lupus erythematosus]] [SLE]) caused by chronic use of certain drugs. These drugs cause an autoimmune response (the body attacks its own cells) producing symptoms similar to those of SLE. There are 38 known medications to cause DIL but there are three that report the highest number of cases: [[hydralazine]], [[procainamide]], and [[isoniazid]].<ref name=Rubin>{{cite web

A predisposing factor to developing DIL is N-acetylation speed, or the rate at which the body can metabolize the drug. [[Acetylation]] speed is generally a genetic factor. A study showed that 29 of 30 patients with DIL were slow acetylators. In addition, these patients had more hydralazine [[metabolites]] in their urine than fast acetylators.<ref name=Lahita>{{cite book

Drug-induced lupus (DIL) is known to be caused by hundreds of different drugs.[1] They are classified as high, moderate, low, or very low risk. While some drugs have good evidence of association with DIL, there are case reports implicating several other drugs as a possible cause of DIL.

Causes

The processes that lead to drug-induced lupus erythematosus are not entirely understood. The exact processes that occur are not known even after 50 years since its discovery, but many studies present theories on the mechanisms of DIL.

A predisposing factor to developing DIL is N-acetylation speed, or the rate at which the body can metabolize the drug. Acetylation speed is generally a genetic factor. A study showed that 29 of 30 patients with DIL were slow acetylators. In addition, these patients had more hydralazine metabolites in their urine than fast acetylators.[2] These metabolites (byproducts of the interactions between the drug and constituents in the body) of hydralazine are said to have been created when leukocytes (white blood cells) have been activated, meaning they are stimulated to produce a respiratory burst.[3] Respiratory burst in white blood cells induces an increased production of free radicals and oxidants such as hydrogen peroxide.[4] These oxidants have been found to react with hydralazine to produce a reactive species that is able to bond to protein.[5] Monocytes, one type of leukocyte, detect the antigen and relay the recognition to T helper cells, creating antinuclear antibodies leading to an immune response.[6] Further studies on the interactions between oxidants and hydralazine are necessary to understand the processes involved in DIL.

Of the drugs that cause DIL, hydralazine has been found to cause a higher incidence. Hydralazine is a medication used to treat high blood pressure. Approximately 12% of the patients who have taken hydralazine over long periods of time and in high doses have shown DIL-like symptoms.[7] Many of the other drugs have a low to very low risk to develop DIL. The following table shows the risk of development of DIL of some of these drugs on a very to high scale.
