Lupus Vulgaris

Lupus vulgaris is a chronic skin disease that is caused by various infectious agents such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. The most common cause of lupus is tuberculosis.

Symptoms of lupus vulgaris include redness, swelling and flaking of the skin, as well as the appearance of nodules and plaques. Lupus can affect any part of the body, but it most often occurs on the face, neck, arms and legs.

Treatment for lupus usually involves the use of antibiotics, antifungals, and other medications. However, in some cases surgery may be required.

Lupus vulgaris can lead to serious complications such as vision loss and damage to the lungs and heart. Therefore, it is important to consult a doctor promptly for diagnosis and treatment of this disease.

Lupus is a systemic connective tissue disease that affects the skin, joints and internal organs. This disease can be either chronic or acute. Symptoms include skin rashes, joint pain, weight loss, fatigue and fever. Usually this disease appears after thirty years of age. During recovery, scars may remain. Lupus is a serious disease that requires timely treatment. The main goal of lupus treatment is to relieve symptoms and prevent complications from developing.

Some research suggests that lupus may be associated with an increased risk of developing other autoimmune diseases, such as type 1 diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, or rheumatism. Lupus is less common in children than in adults, but is still common. It can be hereditary and degenerate into an independent disease in 5-15% of cases. The diagnosis of lupus is usually made on the basis of clinical symptoms, as well as laboratory and instrumental research methods. Treatment of lupus includes the use of corticosteroids, cytostatic drugs, biologics, as well as phototherapy and physical therapy. The choice of specific treatment method depends on the severity of symptoms and the type and form of lupus. In advanced stages of the disease, bone marrow or other organ transplantation may be required.
