LUPUS
Lupus is a disease of the immune system and a medical term that refers to ulcers with slow progression. It is, in fact, cutaneous tuberculosis, which is associated with a small-size (like a pea) tubercule with a transparent and gelatinous yellowish content. It occurs most commonly on the nose and the nasal, oral or pharyngeal mucous membrane. The incidence of lupus in women is ten times higher than in men.
It is an autoimmune disease with chronic evolution, in episodes as a result of an inflammation of the conjunctive tissue. It has multiple visceral locations, such as renal, cardiac, nervous or pleuropulmonary. A form of this disease, the disseminated lupus erythematosus (DLE) has a severe prognosis, which can be alleviated by using corticoids and immunosuppressant agents.
