Lupus is an extremely common, potentially treatable, disease of
the immune system. It affects approximately 1 in 1000 women and is
more common than diseases such as multiple sclerosis and leukaemia.
Despite this, there is little information concerning the disease in
contrast to other illnesses of similar prevalence.
Many people are unaware of the symptoms, treatment, and
prevention of lupus. It is important that these topics are
highlighted for many reasons. For example, a greater understanding
of the symptoms of lupus will enable patients to recognise the
symptoms earlier, and get treatment faster; before any serious
damage is done. Similarly, awareness of preventative measures may
reduce the number of cases of lupus that occur.
From a different perspective, it would be of great use to have
an easily accessible source of information available to lupus
patients that would highlight issues such as treatment options and
sources of support.
In summary, although knowledge of lupus is growing, greater
awareness of the disease amongst both patients and the general
public is an issue that needs to be addressed.
