What is Lupus (SLE) Disease?
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), also known as butterfly disease, is an autoimmune disease caused by the interaction of a person’s genetic makeup with environmental factors.
In lupus disease, some environmental factors may combine with a genetic predisposition to trigger the formation of the disease. The most widely known among these types of Decongestant factors are smoking, ultraviolet rays, chemical exposure and a number of viral and bacterial infections, especially the Eppstein-Barr Virus (EBV). If the immune system responds abnormally to this interaction, destruction occurs in various cells and tissues. Environmental factors interact with sensitive genes and lead to an abnormal immune response. Lupus disease is the development of this abnormal immune response.
What Causes Lupus Disease?
Excessive exposure to ultraviolet rays, i.e. the sun, viruses, especially EBV (Ebstein-Barr virus ) encountered in childhood and adulthood, all kinds of chemicals, additives and drugs that we knowingly or unknowingly take into our bodies activate the immune system, also known as the immune system, and interact with sensitive genes that already exist in a person, which can lead to lupus disease. The effects of exposure to these factors do not occur suddenly, they develop over time. A chronic inflammation begins, that is, an inflammatory process. If this inflammatory process is triggered by a predisposition on the genetic basis, it is on the skin, joints,
