Does stress play a role in the development of lupus or its prognosis?
What will be an ideal response?
As far back as the mid-1950s, Selwyn Brody concluded after studying 42 lupus patients that "stress plays a part in the precipitation, recurrence, and exacerbation of the disease." However, more recently, after reviewing the SLE and stress studies done from 1990 to 2006, Bricou et al. surmised that "stress as a causal factor is not proved, but it seems to act as an exacerbating factor in disease activity and to have an impact on the quality of life."
