Drug-induced lupus

Drug-induced lupus is a lupus-like disease caused by taking a certain drug. The pathogenesis is unclear, and studies have shown that T cell studies show that T cell DNA methylation plays a key role in regulating gene expression and cell differentiation. Clinically, it mainly involves skin, muscle, skeletal system, chest and abdomen, pericardium and kidney. Large amounts of pericardial effusion can cause pericardial tamponade.
