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.

Systemic Lupus Erythrometisis (SLE or Lupus) is not a virus or contagious disease. You can't catch it. It is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system becomes "hyperactive" and attacks healthy cells inside the body. So to directly answer your question, nothing, or no one brought it to the US.

Because lupus attack things in your body that shouldn't be attacked like your heart ,lungs,joints ,skin ,eyes ,and even your brain it fights off bad things like your immune system is suppose to do ,but lupus makes your body over attack things . But if you have lupus don't worry there is medicine that will help you. There are two different types of lupus one is bad and the other one is not so bad. And also if the medicine is working right( which most likely it is) its likely that it can go to remission meaning the lupus is not harming you but like cancer it can come back . So don't be scared people with lupus usually have a normal life expand .

ANA stands for antinuclear antibodies. About 10 million Americans have them. Many have no disease. The older you are, the more likely you are to have a positive ANA. The ANA test is a titer. The result is the number of times ones blood must be diluted in order to come up with a sample that has no autoantibodies. The autoantibodies are then tested with immunofluorescence. The resulting pattern helps determine the type of disease.

Since Chlamydia is a "silent" std -you wouldn't know you had it unless you got tested. Or when did get tested, and contracted the virus just a few days before getting tested, it will go unnoticed. What happened with me is, a guy I had unprotected sex with got it from me... like a year ago but when he had gotten tested it didnt show, so he didnt know he had it - but he got tested again and it showed - so i went and got tested but it didnt show, yet my doctor gave me the antibiotics anyways - Just in case.
