I have read that 99% of people with Lupus have had Mono preceding Lupus. Mono can cause Lupus?


I have Lupus. Years preceding this I had gotten Mono and my health had worsened from Chronic Fatigue Syndrome. One of my friends had Lupus, and just before her Lupus she had, had Mono. she has been in remission from Lupus for nine years now, lucky her! I am just wondering if Mono and genetics are predecessors for Lupus. Would anyone be able to give me some feedback to this?

its possible that mono is just the first thing that people notice...since mono and lupus are both immune system disorders then it is quite possible that ppl who get mono already have undiagnosed lupus.

I think it might be true because in 2003 i got mono around say may by the time it was april of 2004 i was in the hospital being told i had kideny faliure 2 weeks later in may i was told i had lupus i think it "wakes it up" Report It

I to have lupus and I first had mono in 2002, then I was diagnosed with lupus in winter 2003. My doctors told me that it's not just I factor, it's a combination of things. They also said my birth control pills could have triggered it since estrogen plays a role in lupus. Report It

ummm...truthfully dont know
