摘要
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, and polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) are autoimmune diseases with high morbidity and mortality. The important role infections play in these diseases has been documented in the literature over the years. This article reviews the role of infections in these three disorders, emphasizing in each (1) the predisposing factors for the development of infections, (2) the effect of infections on mortality, and (3) the most common microorganisms involved in these infectious processes.
