摘要：
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), scleroderma, and polymyositis/dermatomyositis (PM/DM) are autoimmune diseases with high morbidity and mortality.

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.
