I can partly answer your question. The disease, Lupus, is named such because
Lupus is latin for "wolf". When the disease was first "discovered" is was
given this name becuase the signs and symptoms can vary greatly rarely
effecting two people the same.

More than you ever wanted to know I am sure!  ...Actually, no.  One can
never be TOO educated.


I wonder if St. Lupus was named for a wolf? Or if he was wiley was a wolf?
Does make you wonder.

Hmm... Saint LUPUS??  What's next, Saint Typhoid?  Pope Carbuncle?
Archbishop Dermatitis?  I wonder if the disease lupus is named for him?
Hmm... sounds like a research project, to go along with finding out who the
le Mazon boy really was.... More as I learn it.
