First off Mohammad!.!.!.I am sorry for your loss!. Lupus is a terrible disease and at times can be fatal!.
Next, Lupus isn't an infection so you cannot catch it!. Doctors haven't proven a genetic link to Lupus and therefore they feel that it is both genetic and environmental factors that contribute to Lupus!.
Your wife and children have no higher risk of developing Lupus than the general population!. I know that the death of your sister has affected you greatly and you're trying to protect your children but you should love them and hold them and not worry about them getting Lupus!.
Make sure that you take them to the doctors for their normal visits and if you suspect anything out of the ordinary then have an ANA test run!.
Good luck to you and once again!.!.!.I mourn for your loss!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First of all, Lupus is not an infection!! Its a medical condition, that comes from within the body!. Lupus is classified under the Autoimmune category!. Lupus runs in families, YOU may have it and might have already passed this gene to your children!. It did not, has not and was not passed to your kids from your sister touching or playing with them!.
For your sister to have lived with this condition for so long, it really suprises me that you don't know more about it!.
