Infectious antibodies in systemic lupus erythematosus patients
Lupus, 11/04/09

Berkun Y et al. – Infections can act as environmental triggers that induce or promote systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) in genetically predisposed individuals.

The data suggest the importance of previous exposure to infectious agents in the induction and the prevention of SLE.
