What can epidemiology tell us about systemic lupus erythematosus?

International journal of clinical practice - 1 Jul 2007

Simard J F, Costenbader K H

Abstract excerpt

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an often-severe autoimmune rheumatic disease most commonly diagnosed in women in their childbearing years. It is thought to develop when genetically predisposed individuals are exposed to one or more environmental triggers. This review outlines the epidemiologic evidence for several putative risk factors including cigarette smoke, hormonal and reproductive factors,...
