The Lupus Foundation of America, Inc. (LFA) is the foremost national nonprofit voluntary health organization dedicated to finding the causes of and cure for lupus and providing support, services and hope to all people affected by lupus.
The LFA energetically pursues its mission through five program objectives: Support, Education, Advocacy, Research and Public Awareness of lupus.
The Missouri Lupus Foundation was chartered in 1974,when St. Louisan Roger Sturdevant, who had been living with lupus since the age of 16, started LFA in his basement in St. Louis. He gathered together with a small group of volunteers who had opened Chapters in other areas of the U.S. to increase awareness and promote education about lupus. Three years later, they went on to establish the National Office of the Lupus Foundation of America in Washington, D.C.

Lupus statistics for the number of children worldwide with lupus are not available. Since lupus is not a contagious disease, there are no reporting requirements to any agencies that gather this data.

Some lupus statistics are drawn from hospital discharge statements, however, the discharge statement might not reflect the diagnosis. Doctors have no agency to which to report cases of lupus. Some data, like that of the Lupus Foundation of America, is based on telephone surveys and extrapolated to the general population. There really is no answer to your question.
