What is lupus?
Citing the Department of Health, lupus or SLE is a chronic autoimmune systemic inflammatory disease that can be experienced by some people. The cause of this disease is unknown.
The Department of Health said in 2018 that lupus typically affects women of childbearing age. This disease has a fairly high mortality rate. However, when detected early, the life expectancy of lupus patients is no different from that of the general public.
Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can be experienced for many years. Even so, lupus is not a contagious disease. Lupus is also not a type of cancer.
History and Purpose of World Lupus Day
The history of the commemoration of World Lupus Day reflects the momentum of 2004. At that time, the lupus community in Canada expressed commemoration of this World Lupus Day. This warning is being issued to raise awareness of this autoimmune disease.
