Learn about Lupus Virtual Seminar
Virtual Seminar
Event Description:
Participants will learn how to identify signs of lupus and what to do if lupus is suspected. Lupus affects over 1.5 million Americans, with 16,000 new cases diagnosed each year. The disease primarily affects women (90% of patients), and is more prevalent in African-Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, and Asian-Americans. While not infectious or cancerous, lupus can range from mild to life-threatening, and about 20,000 Americans die from lupus each year. However, with proper treatment, 80-90% of patients can manage the disease and lead full lives. Source: https://lupuscolorado.org/
