LUPUS is a chronic (long-standing) disease of the immune system.

The manifestations can be very mild or may be severe and even life- threatening. Disease manifestation varies from person to person, and may have a fluctuating course in the same person. With careful diagnosis and treatment, it can be well controlled and lupus patients can now expect to achieve a better quality of life and a longer life span.

This site answers some of the questions you may wish to ask about Lupus. However, it is not a substitute for medical supervision and patients are advised to work in close partnership with their doctors.
