Do You Have Lupus Erythematosus?

Inflammation caused by lupus erythematosus can affect many different body systems, including joints, skin, kidneys, blood cells, heart, and lungs. Lupus erythematosus occurs more frequently in women than men, although the reasons for this are not known. 4 kinds of lupus exist — systemic lupus erythematosus, discoid lupus erythematosus, drug-induced lupus erythematosus and neonatal lupus.
