LUPUS - Diagnosis & Treatment
It is hoped that this Guide to Diagnosis and Treatment will be used as a Reference by General Practitioners and Associated Health Professionals seeing patients who present with a number of symptoms which are not easily catergorised.
My thanks go to all the medical consultants and health professionals who have provided the individual chapters for this guide and to Dr. Nicola Erb who checked through the manuscript and gave excellent advice whilst encouraging me to 'keep fighting lupus'.
Thank you also to the patients who kindly gave permission for the photographs to be included and to the donors who so generously provided the funding to enable the book to be produced.
If you would like a hard copy of the Guide, this is available free of charge to GPs and Health Professionals by providing your full details to National Office on 01708 731251 or headoffice@lupusuk.org.uk
