There are no established direct causes of systemic lupus erythematosus. Common contributory factors in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus include [[genetic]] predisposition, [[Auto-immune disease|auto-immune diseases]], and use of drugs. Less common factors include environmental factors and exposure to [[Ultraviolet light|ultraviolet (UV) light.]]

Despite the dramatic rise in Lupus research in recent years, the exact cause of the disease remains unknown.  Indeed, consensus is still lacking on whether Lupus is a single condition or a group of related diseases. SLE is a chronic [[inflammation|inflammatory]] disease believed to be a [[Hypersensitivity#Type III - immune complex|type III hypersensitivity]] response with potential [[Hypersensitivity#Type 2 - antibody-dependent|type II]] involvement,<ref>[http://pathmicro.med.sc.edu/ghaffar/hyper00.htm University of South Carolina lecture on immunology]</ref> characterized by the body's production of antibodies against the nuclear components of its own cells. There are three mechanisms by which lupus is thought to develop: genetic predisposition, environmental triggers and drug reaction (drug-induced lupus).

Overview

There are no established direct causes of systemic lupus erythematosus. Common contributory factors in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus include genetic predisposition, auto-immune diseases, and use of drugs. Less common factors include environmental factors and exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light.

Causes

  • Exposure to ultraviolet (UV) light[3]
    • Can exacerbate or induce systemic manifestations of SLE 
  • Drug-induced lupus
