Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

 

The word lupus is Latin for “wolf.” Medieval physicians thought the destructive facial rash resembled a wolf bite. The term was first used in the Middle Ages, likely during the 12th–13th centuries. 

 

One of the earliest physicians associated with lupus was Rogerius Frugardi (also called Rogerius), a 12th-century Italian surgeon who used the term “lupus” for ulcerating facial lesions. 

 

 

 

  

In 1833, French dermatologist Pierre Cazenave gave one of the first detailed clinical descriptions of discoid lupus. He described the characteristic red facial rash and coined the term lupus érythémateux.
