Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Reproductive Risks and Choices by Myat San Yi in Open Access Journal of Reproductive System and Sexual Disorders (OAJRSD) in Lupine Publishers
In ancient times, lupus means a disease that eats away, bites
and destroys the skin and various organs. The Lupus Foundation
of America estimates that 1.5 million Americans, and at least five
million people worldwide, have a form of lupus. [1] There are four
types of lupus accepted and they are Systemic lupus, cutaneous
lupus, drug-induced lupus (mainly by drugs like hydralazine,
Isoniazid.) and neonatal lupus. Systemic lupus accounts for
approximately 70 percent of all cases of lupus [2]. It is a well-known
autoimmune disease. It occurs predominantly in females in a varied
ratio of 5 to10:1 according to previous studies. The course of the
disease is a chronic, relapsing and remitting in nature. Its popularity
among the autoimmune disease is its occurrence in reproductive
aged women with multisystem involvement affecting the woman’s
reproductive life as well as its potential fatality.
