ABSTRACT

Lupus is a B cell mediated autoimmune disorder. Like most of autoimmune diseases, the development of lupus is believed to be induced by a combination of genetic, hormonal and environmental factors. A link between Epstein-Barr virus and lupus has been suggested through serologic, molecular and experimental studies. However, a relationship between Epstein-Barr virus and lupus remains controversial.
