Connective tissue diseases are associated with factors such as impaired immune function, viral infections, genetic predisposition, and congenital gene defects. Once diagnosed, it is essential to promptly cooperate with a qualified physician and use immunosuppressive agents and corticosteroids to control the disease; otherwise, vital organs may be damaged, leading to adverse effects on the body.
