Lupus Schematic

LUPUS

(SLE - SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS)
Lupus is probably the classic multi-symptom illness
Patients may have just a few or many of the symptoms
  • LUPUS is presently incurable - the disease process is individualised and no two patients present alike.
  • Lupus is neither infectious nor contagious.
  • 90% of all lupus patients are female - men and children may also have lupus.
  • Onset may be a slow progression or an acute process and long delays in diagnosis are a regrettable reality.
  • Major organ damage is possible for many patients.
  • Lupus is probably genetic in origin and other factors can also contribute to the triggering of the disease.
