JAKARTA - May 10 is the commemoration of World Lupus Day established by the World Lupus Federation. This commemoration aims to increase public awareness of lupus.

Reporting from allodokter, lupus or lupus erythematosus is a chronic autoimmune disease that can cause inflammation in several parts of the body, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and brain. People who experience lupus are also called odapus. Most of the Odapus are women, although it is possible that this condition can be experienced by anyone with an uncertain age.

If a person is in normal condition, the immune system will protect the body. Unlike people with lupus, the immune system attacks healthy cells, tissues and organs.

In commemoration of World Lupus Day, VOI journalists try to share messages about lupus.
