Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that can
affect any system and organ in the body. For the 1.4 million people
in the United States who have lupus, an overactive immune system
senses that different parts of the body do not belong, and it
attacks these parts. The immune system may strike the cells that
line the joints or tendons, for example, causing pain and swelling.
An incredibly complex disease, lupus must be properly treated for
the optimal health and well-being of the person who has it. The
Lupus Encyclopedia is an authoritative compendium that provides
detailed explanations of every body system potentially affected by
the disease, along with practical advice about coping. People with
lupus, their loved ones, caregivers, and medical professionals-all
will find here an invaluable resource. Illustrated with
photographs, diagrams, and tables, The Lupus Encyclopedia explains
symptoms, diagnostic methods, medications and their potential side
effects, and when to seek medical attention. Dr. Donald Thomas
provides information for women who wish to become pregnant and
advises readers about working with a disability, complementary and
alternative medicine, infections, cancer, and a host of other
topics.
