  • Title: [Development and long term prognosis of lupus erythematosus (apropos of 124 cases)].
    Author: Godeau P, Betourne C, Piette JC, Herreman G, Wechsler B, Levy R.
    Journal: Ann Med Interne (Paris); 1977 Jan; 128(1):17-30. PubMed ID: 855968.
    Abstract:
    The authors report their experience of the course of lupus erythematosus. The ten year survival rate in 124 patients was 79.3 %. This good result is attributed to the effective treatment of the disorder using corticosteroids; often associated with ummuno-suppressants in severe cases. However, the side-effects of these drugs remain a source of concern and the ideal treatment for lupus has yet to be discovered.
