Lupus is a condition dermatologists know as one of the great diagnostic mimics. In this episode, Dr Jacqueline Jiang and Associate Professor Alvin Chong sit down with rheumatologist Professor Alberta Hoi and dermatologist Associate Professor Laura Scardamaglia to demystify this complex autoimmune condition. We dive into the different classifications, how lupus presents and how it’s diagnosed. We also discuss where treatment is heading, from sun protection and hydroxychloroquine through to newer therapies such as anifrolumab and breakthroughs in CAR-T cell therapy.
