Canine systemic lupus erythematosus. The disease, clinical manifestations and treatment
Abstract
The similarities between human and canine systemic lupus erythematosus are enumerated, using the incidence of symptoms reported for man as a guide to the possible incidence of clinical signs in the dog. Differences between the human and canine diseases are listed. Four clinical cases of the disease are reported. Diagnostic procedures were confined to the observation of clinical signs and serological and haematological methods.
