LUPUS, A DISEASE OF THE IMMUNE SYSTEM, CAN BE QUITE DEADLY, CLAIMING
THE LIVES OF THOUSANDS OF PATIENTS YEARLY. Dr. Daniel J. Wallace is
one of the world's leading authorities on this disorder, an eminent
clinician who has treated over 3,000 lupus patients, the largest such
practice in America. His _The Lupus Book_, originally published in
1995, immediately established itself as the most readable and helpful
book on the disease.Now Dr. Wallace has once again completely revised
_The Lupus Book_, incorporating a wealth of new information. This book
discusses new drug information and newly discovered information about
the pathology of the disease all laid out in user-friendly language
that any patient could understand. In particular, Wallace discusses
the first drug for lupus to be approved by the FDA--belimumab
(Benlysta)--as well as other drugs in clinical trials. Readers will
also discover sections on the science of lupus and breakthroughs in
research including: genetics, microbiome, and clinical trial
methodology. And as in past editions, the book provides absolutely
lucid answers to such questions as: What causes lupus? How and where
is the body affected? Can a woman with lupus have a baby? And how can
one manage this disease? Indeed, Dr. Wallace has distilled his
extensive experience, providing the most up-to-date information on
causes, prevention, cure, exercise, diet, and many other important
topics. There is also a glossary of terms and an appendix of lupus
resource materials compiled by Dr. Wallace. This new seventh edition
discusses new treatments, review of pathogenesis, new laboratory tests
