Lupus [/i/'pi/s) [L. , a wolf]. Lupus vulgaris; a 

 chronic disease of the skin and some mucous mem- 

 branes, characterized by the formation in the connective 

 tissue of nodules of granulation-tissue. It passes 

 through a number of clinical phases, and terminates by 

 ulceration or atrophy, with scar- formation. The cause 

 of the disease is the tubercle-bacillus. L., Acne, an 

 obstinate papular eruption of doubtful character occur- 

 ing in the localities usually selected by Acne vulgaris 

 andsometimes associated with it. L., Acneiform. See 

 L. erythematosus sebaceus. L. anatomicus, the ana- 

 tomic tubercle. L., Cazenave's, lupus erythemato- 

 sus, q. 7 . See also Diseases, Table of. L., Common, 

 lupus vulgaris. L., Disseminated Follicular, aden- 

 oid acne ; a variety of acne confined to the face, espe- 

 cially in the situations usually occupied by acne. The 

 papules are from a large pin's head to a pea in size, 

 conic and deep-red. They may coalesce to form a lupus- 

 like tissue. L. disseminatus, a term applied to any 

 case of lupus with multiple patches. L. eczema, a 

 form of L. erythematosus resembling eczema. L.

 Synonym of Z. erythematosus. L. erythematosus, 

 L. erythematodes; Cazenave's lupus; a form not due 

 to the tubercle-bacillus. It occurs, as a rule, in mul- 

 tiple patches, with a tendency to symmetric arrange- 



ment, chiefly about the face and head, occasionally on 

 the extremities, and rarely on the trunk. The patches 

 are sharply defined at the border, flat, very slightly 

 raised, and with a tendency to the formatii -ts. 



The color is bright red, and there are no nodu 

 The disease tend- to spread slowly at the periphery, and 

 new patches may form in the neighborhood of the 

 old. feeble circulation favors the development of 

 the disease. It is most common in femal • lult 



or middle age. L. erythematosus aggregatus. 

 s< •■ L. erythematosus disseminatus. L. erythemato- 

 sus circumscripta, the most common form, attack- 

 ing chiefly the head and face, especially the- nose, 

 cheeks, and ears, often symmetrically. It appears in 

 the early stage as isolated or grouped, small, 1 

 about an eighth of an inch in diameter, with a yellow- 

 ish spot at the center, and a small closely adherent scale. 

 These slowly extend peripherally and ultimately 

 ali see into patches of a dirty yellowish-white appear- 

 ance. Cicatrization occurs in the center. The disease 

 is one of long duration. L. erythematosus corneus, 

 L. erythematosus in which the scales are n< 't greasj . L. 

 erythematosus discoides, the asymmetric form of 

 L. erythematosus. L. erythematosus discretus, a 

 form of L. erythema', 1/ in which irregular patches 

 are scattered over various parts of the- body. It is 

 associated with constitutional symptoms — fever and 

 pains in the head, bones, joints, etc. L. erythema- 

 tosus disseminatus, /.. erythematosus 'us;

 extension by repeated outbreaks, and by the fact that 

 the patches never coalesce. It is a chronic disease 

 usually, but maybe acute. L. erythematosus seba- 

 ceus, a form with special involvement of the seba-

 exuberans, a form of lupus, usually Z. exulcerans, 

 associated with papillary excrescences. L. exulcer- 

 ans, a term used to distinguish that form in which 

 the destruction of tissue is rapid or intense, or in 

 which the epidermis is lost and a secreting ulcerating 

 surface is disclosed. L. frambcesiformis, L. fram-

 Synonym of L/ipus exuberans. L. haemorrhagicus, 

 Z. erythematosus disseminatus associated with hem- 

 orrhagic vesicles and blebs that dry and form crusts.

 nective-tissue formatii minates over the destruc- 

 tive process, and markedly raised, thick patches result. 

 L. idiopatbicus. Synonym of L. vulgaris. L. im- 

 petiginosus, a form of Z. erythematosus in its earlier

 icus. See Lymphangioma circumscriptum. L. macu- 

 losus, a variety characterized by the eruption of very 

 soft, smooth, brownish-red, semi-translucent miliary 

 nodules, which develop in the connective tissue of 

 otherwise healthy skin without subjective sensa- 

 tions. This eruption constitutes the earliest sign 

 of lupus. When the surface desquamates, the 

 name L//p//s exfoliativus is given to it. L. mili- 

 aris. See /... Acne. L. mutilans, lupus exe- 

 dens, causing destruction of tissue and disfigurement.
