Lupus is an autoimmune disease characterized by inflammation of the skin, joints, blood cells, kidneys, brain, heart, and lungs. It occurs when the immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissues and cells in the body because it thinks they are foreign invaders. Lupus can cause painful inflammation in just about any organ in the body. It is most recognizable to doctors and their patients by the iconic butterfly-shaped rash that develops along the bridge of the affected individual’s nose and cheeks. Medications to treat lupus effectively include immunosuppressants and steroids.
