Study found bacteria on our intestine than can trigger lupus

News24xx.com - Lupus is a chronic disease that causes inflammation in many parts of the body such as the kidneys, heart and brain. This disease is more likely to attack women and potentially could be life threatening. Like other autoimmune diseases, lupus is caused by an immune system that mistakenly attacks the body's tissues, not viruses.

In a recent study published by Annals of the Rheumatic Disease, found that systemic lupus erythematosus was associated with the excess growth of bacteria in the intestine. "Studies show that lupus patients have a different intestinal microbioma than healthy people and are correlated with the growth of this disease" said University of Buffallo researcher Jessy Alexander, quoted from Healthline.

People who have lupus often experience a period when the disease doesn’t do anything when the disease recurs. When relapse, the bacteria Ruminococcus Gnavus develops and damages the body's immune system. At that time, the sufferer’s DNA will produce the wrong antibodies and made by these bacteria.

This research still needs to be clear about these bacteria. Not only does it eliminate or reduce the number of bacteria but can increase the number of good bacteria.
