Abstract

The authors report their experience of the course of lupus erythematosus. The ten year survival rate in 124 patients was 79.3 %. This good result is attributed to the effective treatment of the disorder using corticosteroids; often associated with ummuno-suppressants in severe cases. However, the side-effects of these drugs remain a source of concern and the ideal treatment for lupus has yet to be discovered.
