>One of the most common viruses in the world could be the cause of lupus, an autoimmune disease with wide-ranging symptoms, according to a study published Wednesday. Until now, lupus was somewhat mysterious: No single root cause of the disease had been found, and there is no designated treatment for it. The research, published in the journal Science Translational Medicine, suggests that Epstein-Barr virus — which 95% of people acquire at some point in life — could cause lupus by driving the body to attack its own healthy cells.

All the ladies I have known who end up with lupus were on massive amounts of steroids before being diagnosed. If it is related to a virus, then the steroids likely trigger a nasty reaction. I already have autoimmune stuff and hope I never need steroids.
