lupus Noun

[Subject: Medical Sciences, Medicine]

- Lupus is a condition whereby the body's defence mechanism goes into overdrive and starts to attack itself. The symptoms are many and varied and the illness seems to mimic other diseases.The name "lupus" comes from the Latin meaning wolf and refers to the erythematous red ulcerations on the face. Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) did not acquire its name until the middle of the 19th century. Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disease, characterised by exacerbations and remissions.
