In lupus statistics, people of color are defined as Latino, Asian, Native American/Pacific Islanders and African American. The over all statistic across all ages is that 9 of 10 lupus patients are women. However, in the ages of 14-45 when lupus mos often develops, 14 out of 15 are women. Rarely, babies born to a mother with lupus with have neonatal lupus. Neonatal lupus usually subsides within 6 months and the child may have no further bouts with the disease. Sometimes they will also have congenital heart block. Certain medications can cause drug induced lupus. These include some high blood pressure medications and tuberculosis treatment regimens. The lupus disappears when the offending drug is discontinued.
