    Le lupus érythémateux est une maladie chronique, qui résulte d'un dérèglement multifactoriel du système immunitaire et qui illustre parfaitement le concept de maladie auto-immune systémique. Affection aux symptômes multiples, elle se déclare le plus souvent par des manifestations cutanées ou articulaires, mais elle peut toucher n'importe quel organe. De par la complexité de son diagnostic et de son traitement, le lupus érythémateux est une maladie parfois grave dont le diagnostic et la prise en charge font appel à un grand nombre de spécialités médicales : dermatologie, rhumatologie, médecine interne, néphrologie, hématologie, pédiatrie, biologie médicale, mais aussi parfois pneumologie, cardiologie, gastro-entérologie..... Ce livre didactique, organisé sous la forme de mises au point et d'interrogations que le professionnel de santé est amené à se poser, propose : - un ancrage diagnostique et thérapeutique par des mises au point, dans la première partie, offrant un rappel de la physiopathologie du lupus érythémateux, de ses manifestations cliniques et biologiques et de son traitement ; - un approfondissement des différentes manifestations, des situations particulières et des complications que peut présenter le patient lupique : lupus chez l'enfant, grossesse et lupus, risque infectieux, ostéonécrose, ischémie cutanée, douleurs abdominales, etc. ; - une évaluation des multiples traitements, chaque symptôme nécessitant une cure spécifique. Les syndromes plus rares associés au lupus, comme le syndrome d'Evans ou encore le syndrome d'activation macrophagique par exemple, sont ainsi abordés spécifiquement, afin de déterminer le remède le plus adapté. Cet ouvrage exhaustif, illustré par de nombreux tableaux et figures, éclaire une maladie complexe et polymorphe. Il guidera les nombreux praticiens pour lesquels le lupus érythémateux est un enjeu majeur de diagnostic, véritable cas d'école de diagnostic différentiel. Il apportera une aide considérable dans la prise en charge thérapeutique en abordant concrètement les nombreuses situations cliniques auxquelles les malades lupiques sont exposés.
