ABOUT LUPUS:
Systemic lupus erythematosus (S.L.E.), commonly called lupus, is one of America's least recognized major diseases. Nearly 1.5 million Americans have lupus. In fact, more Americans have lupus than cerebral palsy, multiple sclerosis, sickle-cell anemia, and cystic fibrosis combined, making it one of this country's most prevalent medical problems. However, while lupus is widespread, awareness and accurate knowledge about it lag behind many other illnesses.

Lupus is a chronic autoimmune disorder that can affect virtually any organ of the body. In lupus, the body's immune system, which normally functions to protect against foreign invaders, becomes hyperactive, forming antibodies that attack normal tissues and organs, including the skin, joints, kidneys, brain, heart, lungs, and blood.


ABOUT THE S.L.E. LUPUS FOUNDATION:
With headquarters in New York City and offices in Los Angeles, the S.L.E. Lupus Foundation is one of the nations leading lupus organizations. It provides patient services, education, public awareness, and funding for lupus research.
