Low immunity: Sle is an auto-immune disorder, it decreases the immunity in the body with increased incidence of infections and decreases the ability to fight bacteria, on the other hand bronchial asthma is an allergic disorder associated with trapping air inside lungs and with accumulation of mucus , the combination of sle and asthma increases the possibility of respiratory infections.
