Answers:
Lupus (systemic lupus erythematosus, or SLE) is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks the body's own tissues as though they were foreign substances. Lupus is not contagious.
There are many possible causes for lupus, including genetic defect, chemical exposure (anything from contaminated well water to (suspectedly) hair dye), and even as a result of some medications. Symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, skin problems, sensitivity to light, fever, nervous system problems, and many more.
