Lupus Erythematosus
Lupus Erythematosus is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues. This can lead to inflammation and damage in various organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and heart. Symptoms often include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes, and fever, which can vary in severity and may come and go.
There are different types of lupus, with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) being the most common. Diagnosis typically involves blood tests and a review of symptoms. While there is no cure, treatments are available to manage symptoms and reduce inflammation, helping individuals lead healthier lives.
