Is lupus a communicable disease?
Yes it is an autoimmune disease that currently has no cure. There are treatments available to manage the symptoms caused by the disease but no cure for the overall disease. With lupus, the antibodies that usually fight germs and disease in ones body instead attack all of the organs in the body. Due to lack of funding and general public unawareness of what exactly is lupus, there has been no progress for many years in finding a medicine that is more effective in slowing down the attack of all the organs. Currently the most widely used medicine is Plaquenil, which was developed 70 years ago for the purpose of treating malaria. This drug has many bad side effects in many patients and again, can only slow down the progression of lupus attacking and destroying all major organs, it does not cure lupus.
