Lupus occurs when an unknown trigger causes a person’s own immune system to attack their tissues

Lupus damages the tissues and producing widespread inflammation. There is no known cause or cure for lupus; however, treatments are available.

People with lupus have weakened immune systems, which can make them more likely to develop complications from the flu. Some medications used to treat inflammatory arthritis can also weaken the immune system.
