How do you get lupus vulgaris?
The exact cause of lupus is not known. Lupus is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system is confused and attacks healthy parts of the self. Researchers believe that if a person inherits just the right combination of genes (genetic predisposition) and is exposed to certain triggers, either extreme or over a period of time, lupus will develop. Lupus is not directly hereditary like sickle cell disease. Lupus is not contagious. You can't catch in from someone or give it to someone. The Epstein-Barr virus (the one that causes mononucleosis) is often cited as a trigger. Other triggers include stress, sunlight, cigarette smoke, and certain medications. The medications are the one given for tuberculosis and some high blood pressure medications. If the lupus is drug induced, the lupus goes away once the offending drug is withdrawn.
