Detailed explanation-1: -Lupus is difficult to diagnose and treat because its symptoms mimic other conditions, it affects the immune system differently in people, and drugs traditionally used to treat it come with serious side effects.
Detailed explanation-2: -In 1951, the antimalarial drug, quinacrine, was used for the treatment of DLE.
