Lupus erythematosus may cause secondary phagocytic syndrome.
Lupus erythematosus is a type of connective tissue disease caused by autoimmune disorders. Phagocytic syndromes are divided into primary phagocytic syndromes and secondary phagocytic syndromes, and patients with autoimmune diseases, including lupus erythematosus, may suffer from autoimmune disorders secondary to auto-immune disease-associated phagocytic syndromes.
In addition to autoimmune diseases, viral, bacterial, mycoplasma, fungal and other pathogenic infections, as well as lymphoma, leukemia and other malignant neoplastic diseases can also lead to secondary phagocytosis, so patients diagnosed with phagocytosis need to further clarify the cause of the disease and carry out targeted treatment.
It is recommended that patients go to the Department of Rheumatology and Immunology of regular hospitals, complete the relevant auxiliary examinations, and then follow the doctor’s instructions to carry out the appropriate treatment.
