Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Systemic lupus erythematosus‚ often known simply as lupus or abbreviated to SLE‚ is a systemic autoimmune disease or an autoimmune connective tissue disease that can affect any part of the body. As occurs in other autoimmune diseases‚ the immune system attacks the body ’s cells and tissue‚ resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. It is a hypersensitivity reaction of the type III variety‚ caused by antibody-immune complex formation. There are several explanations

significant amounts until after delivery‚ therefore‚ a woman’s first infant is not affected. During the following pregnancies‚ when fetal and maternal circulatory systems are closely intertwined‚ the mother’s antibodies may cross the placenta. Hemolytic anemia can form when the mother’s antibodies enter the fetal circulatory system. Rh incompatibility is almost completely preventable. Rh-negative mothers should be followed closely by their obstetricians during pregnancy. If the father of the infant

Question: Did favism‚ or G6PD enzyme deficiency‚ help humanity survive through malaria? Research: Favism and malaria are found in areas where fava beans were cultivated. Fava beans release free radicals that destroy red blood cells‚ which leads to hemolytic anemia in those who have favism. In those regions‚ particularly North Africa‚ Southern Europe and around the Mediterranean‚ cases of malaria are abundant. Consuming fava beans and lacking the G6PD enzymes to remove the free radicals is an essential
