Beskrivning

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.

From the reviews: "In this book, Dr. Hughes takes lupus patients through the history of the disease, its manifestations, diagnostic tests, and therapy. ... It is written for patients and their families by one of the foremost researchers in this field. ... I think it does a good job translating complex medical terms into easily understood descriptions. ... It is a useful reference that I can recommend to my patients." (Chris Phillips, Doody's Review Service, March, 2009)
