Dear Friend,

Thanks for sharing your question.
Cause of Lupus is not completely known, however there is enough evidence suggestive of multiple genes, female hormones and some other enviornmental factors. There is no role of Vit B12 or any other Vit def.
Lupus patients are having improperly working immune function, so they are prone for infections. Immunosuppression also contributes in susceptibility to infection.
Two other issues are: Splenomegaly- causes may be chronic infection, hemolytic anemia, lymphoma etc needs work up.
Arrhythmia: Multiple causes: Lupus myocarditis is one. Needs urgent cardiology attention.
Hope I could address your issues.
Regards
