Publisher's Synopsis
"Where should we start? The most logical place is with a definition of lupus. We look at how it is classified as a disease and place it in its proper historical perspective. This is followed by an overview of how lupus is distributed in the population-in other words, who gets the disease, which parts of the world have the highest prevalence of lupus, how many people have lupus in the United States and at what age, and which sex is most affected"--.
