GENERAL HISTOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -The first medication used for lupus, quinine (an antimalarial), was described by Payne in 1894 (Payne, 1894). Four years later, the use of salicylates in conjunction with quinine was a significant step in lupus therapy (Radcliffe-Crocker, 1898).

Detailed explanation-2: -Only six decades ago, being diagnosed with lupus was tantamount to a death sentence, with about half of all patients surviving as few as four years. Today most cases of lupus are manageable as a chronic disease, especially for people who have the right attitude and approach to treatment.
