Who discovered the lupus?

Lupus, specifically systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), was first described in the 19th century, with significant contributions from several physicians. The term "lupus" itself, meaning "wolf" in Latin, was used by physician Thomas Addison in the 1850s to describe skin lesions resembling wolf bites. While no single individual "discovered" lupus, the understanding of the disease has evolved through the work of many researchers over time. Notably, the development of serological tests in the mid-20th century greatly advanced the diagnosis and understanding of lupus.

How long can you have lupus before symptoms come on?

Symptoms of lupus can be so subtle that a person would not suspect the disease. For example, lupus patients are likely to catch colds more frequently and have a much harder time getting well. Lupus patients often experience fatigue, but may simply think they did too much. Since there is no definitive test for lupus, it is hard to say when onset occurs. Additionally, lupus is a remitting/flaring disease meaning it has periods of relative calm and periods of activity The majority of cases are mild to moderate, although lupus can be life threatening. In a mild case of lupus, the patient might not even be bothered enough by the symptoms to bring them to the attention of a doctor.

Lupus nephritis is one of the common (40%) complications of systemic lupus erythematosus. The other types of lupus are neonatal (affecting newborns), discoid or cutaneous (affecting the skin and hair), and drug induced (which subsides when the offending drug is withdrawn). If you have lupus nephritis, then you have lupus.
