Has anyone ever heard of drug induced autoimmune hepatitis?

---

I have recently been diagnosed with something called minocycline induced hepatitis with autoimmune tendencies. I took a mild antibiotic (minocycline) for acne for about 3 years which caused hepatitis. The odd thing is that it caused autoimmune hepatitis which took forever to diagnose. It's supposed to be very rare but I was wondering if anyone knew anything about it or have heard of someone having it. It doesn't have to be caused by minocycline though because I had a bad flair up after taking amoxicillin.

How does someone contract autoimmune disease?

My sister was diagnosed with autoimmune disease because her
white blood cell count keeps going lower. The doctor also wants
to test her for lupus and rheumatoid arthritis. Does anyone know
what can cause this ? She just turned 40 years old.
Autoimmune diseases are disorders in which an inflammatory reaction is caused by the body's own immune system attacking tissues.

Scientists believe multiple factors such as environmental toxins, heredity, viruses, and certain drugs may play a role in causing an autoimmune disease. Stress, poor diet, lack of exercise, lack of sleep, abuse of alcohol and use of tobacco can also weaken the immune system and may play some role as well.  (+ info)

If you had a boy and a girl and had 2 autoimmune diseases that developed right after the second pregnancy?

would you try for another child? my OB says i can but the diseases happened a month after delivery and a lot of autoimmine diseases happen right after a stressfull situation to the body. just scared of maybe getting a more severe autoimmune disease but i have baby fever.
I personally wouldn't.

I have autoimmune hepatitis and that was nothing to do with pregnancy but if I knew that anything could make it any worse then I don't think that I'd try for another child. You already had two, right? What if it got a lot worse and you ended up unable to look after the two that you already have?

By the way, I'm pregnant with my first child. :-)
Good luck with whatever you choose.  (+ info)

If I suffer from one type of autoimmune disease, is it likely that I'll be susceptible to others?

I have autoimmune hepatitis and frequently have inner ear infections. They Stopped for the past 5 months.

I was on a very high dose of prednisolone (steroids) and azathioprine. This has now been reduced and the inner ear infections are reoccurring.

Does anyone have any knowledge of this?
(I'm asking for a referral from my doctors but I'm interested in other people's experiences.)
Autoimmune diseases cluster that is if you have one there is an increased chance that you will develop another.  (+ info)

Do autoimmune diseases suppress the immune system?

---

Do they? Or is it the drugs you take for autoimmune diseases that suppress the immune system? Can long term stress or autoimmune diseases suppress the immune system and affect test results, such as HIV, and cause false negatives or positives after about 7 months or so? If you're under a great deal of stress for a long time, or have an autoimmune disease, does it take longer for your body to produce antibodies against diseases, like HIV? Will 7 months have been long enough of a time to wait before getting tested for HIV? Especially since you're not sexually active or do drugs?

Thanks!
Wow - you've quite a few questions there.

Autoimmune diseases can reduce your immune system's effectiveness, yes. However, diseases like Lupus cause the immune system to attack the body, in which case drugs are perscribed to subdue the immune system. Stress does indeed affect your body's immunity in a negative capacity.

Seven months, though? That's a long time for the body to recover its immune defense. Dealing with HIV is something best, perhaps, reserved for medical professionals. There are hosts of checks and tests that can give you definitive answers to your questions much better than the internet can.  (+ info)
