Understanding Lupus: The Basics
Lupus, a chronic autoimmune disease, affects millions worldwide. The term ‘lupus’ comes from the Latin word for ‘wolf’, and it is often used to describe the moon-shaped lesions that appear on the skin of those affected. However, lupus is more than skin deep; it can impact various organs and systems within the body. Understanding lupus is crucial for both patients and their loved ones.
