rapy, lupus patients can experience disease symptoms including severe fatigue, arthritis, fever, seizures, headache, muscle weakness, memory loss, hair loss, facial rash, photosensitivity and depression, which can lead to poor quality of life. Lupus is characterized by flares of disease activity interspersed with periods of improvement or remission.

Approximately 200,000 people in the United States and more than one million worldwide have lupus, according to U.S. government and private sector statistics. Lupus primarily affects women, many of whom experience the initial onset in their late teens and early twenties.
