What is lupus?
  Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease.  Normally, the immune system protects the body, but in lupus, the immune system attacks its own body.  The disease manifests itself in so many different ways, and it may invade various systems of the body.  

  The death rate among African American women ages 45-64 years has increased seventy five percent (75%), and more than one-third of all deaths from SLE occurred among persons less than forty five (45) years of age.
