Overview

There are no established direct causes of systemic lupus erythematosus. Common contributory factors in the development of systemic lupus erythematosus include geneticpredisposition, 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
