Johns Hopkins Lupus Center
Systemic lupus erythematosus (“SLE” or “lupus”) can be overwhelming and mysterious at times. The goal of this site is to provide information to lupus patients, their loved ones, and their physicians about the nature of the disease and its treatment. Hopefully the information and support offered will allow patients and health care providers to gain confidence in their journeys with lupus.
