Lupus erythematosus

The cause of Lupus is as tricky as the diagnosis. It's likely that Lupus is a result of genetics and ones environment. Doctors now believe people may inherit a predisposition to Lupus, but not Lupus itself. Rather, people with an inherited predisposition for Lupus only develop the disease when they come into contact with something in the environment that triggers it, such as a medication or a virus.
