Lupus or systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) aka disease that attacks the body's own antibodies that have a thousand faces, so doctors sometimes 'cheated' when diagnosing patients.
Adre added if the doctor who examined not observant and not know about lupus disease, it could just be doing a lot of checks and sometimes the assessments do not provide a proper diagnosis.
One such test that is often missed in the examination of lupus, said Adre, is on blood viscosity. "People who suffer from lupus will have thicker blood than other people his age who do not suffer from lupus," he said.
