experiencing cardiac events than a person without lupus. (NLM fb posting)

On searching Google Scholar found a highly cited paper on SLE by Dr. AN Malviya and others-
Excerpts : The first case of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was reported from India in 1955 followed by two more case reports and further, a series of eight cases, till 1969. Since the establishment of a clinical immunology laboratory at a major teaching institution in New Delhi in 1968, SLE was extensively studied and reported from that centre. From mid-1980 onwards several other centres in different regions in India including Chennai (old name Madras), Mumbai (old name Bombay), Calcutta and Hydrabad, also published their regional experience on SLE. Based on these data, the present report describes the clinical and laboratory characteristics of 1366 SLE patients seen in different regions of India. Arthritis, rash, photosensitivity, seizures and psychosis were seen in comparable proportions to other racial groups.(Lupus November 1997 vol. 6 no. 9 690-700)
