Yes, there is a sub category of lupus called drug induced lupus.
I have had 2 reactions in 30 yrs to drugs...both blood pressure drugs. Hydralazine and Lisinopril.

ANA are typically not elevated in drug induce lupus. The lupus website has an explanation about this specific type of lupus too, which may be helpful for some readers here.
