is systemic lupus erythematosus caused by a specific genus or species?

why patients with SLE produce antibodies directed at components of their own cells?

  • The cause of lupus is not clearly understood. It is not contagious, not cancerous, and not HIV/AIDS. What we know right now is that a person may be genetically predisposed (they have idenified numerous genes that are involved) and then a trigger or triggers turn the autoimmune switch on. There are many cases of genetically identical twins where one develops lupus and the other does not.

    In lupus, the problem is that some cells of the immune system mistakenly identify healthy cell as invaders like viruses, bacteria, and fungi. Those cells send a message for other parts of the immune system to destroy whatever they have identified as bad. There is no cure for lupus. Lupus is currently controlled by suppressing or weakening the immune system. Earlier medications weakened the entire immune system. The new biologics weaken only specific parts. No new drug has been FDA approved for the treatment of lupus since November 20, 1958.

  • SLE is an autoimmune sickness , wherein frame turns into allergic to its possess tissues & begins destroying quite a lot of tissues in lungs , kidney ,blood vessels. There isn't any therapy however signs are extensively managed via cortisone & then there are remissions , that implies the individual has no lively sickness procedure occurring for years mostly ten to 15 years , have noticeable 2 such instances going past 40 years of lifestyles ,alas each had been ladies & each medical professionals . Anyway that aside , the Hospital at Manipal ( Karnataka) has an excessively well division to asses & control those instances. That is all I realize approximately and I m a corporation believer in technology to discover option to those illnesses , in order that desire is continually there.
