Speaking on the occasion, Dr Sarath Chandra Mouli, President-Hyderabad Chapter, Rheumatology Association and Clinical Director, Department of Rheumatology & Clinical Immunology, KIMS Hospitals, expressed happiness at the turnout and thanked all the participants who became a part of the mission.
“Lupus erythematosus, commonly referred to as Lupus is an autoimmune issue where human immune system becomes hyper active and effects healthy tissues. This causes a wide range of health complications including chest pain, join pains, ulcers, hair loss, allergy to sunlight, tiredness and rash to mention a few,” he said.
“Unfortunately, the awareness levels globally are low because of which, either there is a delay in diagnosis or there is misdiagnosis of symptoms. It is a global health problem that affects people of all any age-group, demographics, genders, regions and climatic conditions,” he said.
