Ep 116 It's never lupus (except this time)
b'
Even if you haven\\u2019t watched the TV show House MD, you\\u2019re probably familiar with the phrase \\u201cit\\u2019s never lupus\\u201d. But have you stopped to consider why it\\u2019s never lupus? Or why lupus is so often suspected in the first case? Well, dear listeners, this episode aims to get at the heart of those questions, which is easier said than done. Like many other autoimmune diseases, lupus erythematosus continues to baffle, but we know a lot more now than we used to. In this episode, we take you through that knowledge as best we can and then trace the steps of how we came to first recognize, then describe, and then treat lupus, a journey that takes us through how we learned about autoimmunity in the first place. If you\\u2019ve ever been curious about how lupus got its name (wolf bite, anyone?) or what the pregnancy compensation hypothesis could mean for this and other autoimmune diseases, then this is the episode for you.
