George Stojan, MD

The goal of treating Lupus is always remission. Dr. Stojan with the Johns Hopkins Lupus Center walks through the process of treating Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE).

Diagnosing systemic lupus is complicated in the sense that you need to look at the entire picture of a patient’s presentation and their laboratory workup. In this video, Dr. Stojan with the Johns Hopkins Lupus Center, discusses the process of diagnosing Lupus.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (“SLE” or “lupus”) can be overwhelming and mysterious at times. In this video, Dr. Stojan of the Johns Hopkins Lupus Center shares an overview of this disease.

The old American College of Rheumatology criteria in the definition of what is considered to be brain lupus included headaches. Patients would be treated for these headaches as if they were part of lupus. Studies since have shown that headaches in lupus patients are not more common than in the general population.

Dr. George Stojan with the Johns Hopkins Lupus Center discusses how chronic fatigue that’s present daily and interferes with a patient’s life is usually not a sign of systemic lupus.
