Lupus, a disease of the immune system, can be quite deadly,
claiming the lives of thousands of patients yearly. Dr. Daniel J.
Wallace is one of the world's leading authorities on this disorder,
an eminent clinician who has treated over 3,000 lupus patients, the
largest such practice in America. His The Lupus Book, originally
published in 1995, immediately established itself as the most
readable and helpful book on the disease. Now Dr. Wallace has once
again completely revised The Lupus Book, incorporating a wealth of
new information. This Sixth Edition discusses new drug information
and newly discovered information about the pathology of the
diseaseall laid out in user-friendly language that any patient
could understand. In particular, Wallace discusses the first drug
for lupus to be approved by the FDAbelimumab (Benlysta)as well as
other drugs in clinical trials. Readers will also discover fully
updated sections on the science of lupus and breakthroughs in
research including: genetics, microbiome, and clinical trial
methodology. And as in past editions, the book provides absolutely
lucid answers to such questions as: What causes lupus? How and
where is the body affected? Can a woman with lupus have a baby? And
how can one manage this disease? Indeed, Dr. Wallace has distilled
his extensive experience, providing the most up-to-date information
on causes, prevention, cure, exercise, diet, and many other
important topics. There is also a glossary of terms and an appendix
of lupus resource materials compiled by Dr. Wallace. Over 1.5
million Americans have lupus. The new Sixth Edition offers these
patients and their families an abundance of reliable, information
that will help them manage the disease and live a happier life.
