Auto-immune disease, Systemic lupus erythematosus


Description:Lupus is most common in type B, and is characterized by inappropriate isohemagglutinin response to stimulation with the B antigen.
Drug-induced SLE develops after the use of certain drugs and has symptoms similar to those of SLE. The characteristics of this syndrome are pleuropericardial inflammation, fever, rash, and arthritis. Serologic changes also occur. The clinical and serologic signs usually subside gradually after the offending drug is discontinued. A wide variety of drugs is implicated in this form of SLE.
