The medical textbook Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, 4th edition edited by Lahita is the definitive source. You can find it on line or in any decent medical library.

The Lupus Book by Daniel Wallace, MD 4th edition is a comprehensive resource for lupus. It is based on the medical textbook but more accessible to lay people.

What is the difference between lupus and leukemia?

Lupus is an illness that is an immune system malfunction. In a person who has Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, there is an "error message," of sorts, on each cell's DNA profile, which causes each cell in that person's body to, in effect, be "allergic" to every other cell. The body "attacks" itself, in an attempt to destroy "bad" or damaged cells. This activity can bae controlled or minimized with steroids such as Prednisone and other drugs such as Plaquenil. Each drug has its own side effects, so read carefully and extensively if you have Lupus and are weighing drug treatments. To obtain more complete and accurate information on Systemic Lupus, consult a rheumatologist who specializes in this disease. There is another type of Lupus, Discoid Lupus, that affects only the skin. Consult a dermatologist for more information on this type of Lupus.
