Overview
The word "lupus" means wolf in Latin, as the destructive injuries SLE causes brought to mind wolf bites. The history of lupus erythematosus can be divided into three periods: classical, neoclassical, and modern. The classical period mostly refers to ancient history, when there was no exact definition of the disease. During the neoclassical lupus era, scientists were investigating to determine the manifestations of lupus and to define the disease's action. Modern history is mostly focused on microscopical understanding of the disease and pathogenesis of SLE.
Discovery
The word "lupus" means wolf in Latin, as the destructive injuries SLE causes brought to mind wolf bites. The history of lupus erythematosus can be divided into three periods: classical, neoclassical, and modern.[1] The classical period mostly refers to ancient history, when there was no exact definition of the disease. During the neoclassical lupus era, scientists were investigating to determine the manifestations of lupus and to define the disease's action. Modern history is mostly focused on microscopical understanding of the disease and pathogenesis of SLE.
Classical History
- In ancient times, it was believed that lupus patients could turn into wolves, especially when exposed to sunlight. This was later found to be due to lupus photosensitivity.[2]
- Hippocrates was the first to use the phrase "herpes esthiomenos," which was a definition for lupus lesions. Thus, Hippocrates is considered the first to have described cutaneous ulceration of the disease.[3][4]
Neoclassical History
- In 1230 A.D., Rogerius Frugardi was the first to describe erosive facial lesions and used the term "lupus" for the first time scientifically.[3]
- In 1530 A.D. Giovanni Manardi used the same pattern of ulceration to describe lower extremity lesions and also called it lupus.
- In the late 18th century, Robert Willan, a British dermatologist, was the first to describe the destructive lesions of the face and nose under the heading of lupus. Lupus willani, which is cutaneous tuberculosis or lupus vulgaris, is named after him.
- In 1833, Laurent Theodore Biett was the first one to describe lupus erythematosus, although he called it "erythema centrifugum." Later, his student Pierre Louis Alphee Cazenave published his work.[5]
- In 1845, Ferdinand von Hebra described an aggressive skin lesion with tissue destructive characteristics. Later, in 1866, Ferdinand von Hebra used the term "butterfly" to describe what is known as malar rash. He initially named the condition "seborrhea congestiva."[6]
- In 1851, Cazenave was the first to complete the description of discoid lupus. He called it "lupus erythematosus."
- In 1872, Kaposi was the first to describe the systemic signs of the disorder, including arthritis, fever, anemia, lymphadenopathy, and weight loss.
- Kaposi and Cazenave were the first ones who clearly distinguished lupus erythematosus from lupus vulgaris or cutaneous tuberculosis, though both diseases coexist in some patients.
- In the late 19th century, Sir William Osler was the first to coin the term "systemic lupus erythematosus." He discussed systemic complications of “erythema exsudativum multiforme,” including cardiac, pulmonary, and renal problems as well as cutaneous lesions.[6]
- In the late 19th century, Jonathan Hutchinson was the first to describe the photosensitive nature of malar rash.
- In 1902, Sequira and Balean were the first to describe acroasphyxia, or the Raynaud phenomenon, and lupus nephritis.
- In 1908, Alfred Kraus and Carl Bohac were the first to describe pulmonary involvement in lupus.
- In 1923, Emanuel Libman and Benjamin Sacks were the first to describe noninfectious endocarditis due to lupus.[7]
Modern History
- In the early 20th century, George Belote and H.S. Ratner were the first to describe endocarditis of Libman-Sacks as a manifestation of lupus, even without concurrent cutaneous involvement. They changed the common idea of the necessity of cutaneous involvement for the diagnosis of lupus.
- In 1935, Paul Klemperer, George Baehr, and A.D. Pollack were the first to describe wire loop nephritis.
- In 1959, Leonardt, Arnett, and Schulman were the first to describe the familial aggregation of lupus and concordance in monozygotic twins.
- In 1906, Wasserman, while trying to develop a serologic test for syphilis, was the first to describe a complement-fixing antibody that reacted with extracts from bovine hearts. The corresponding antigen was later identified as cardiolipin.[7]
- In 1948, Malcolm Hargraves discovered the lupus erythematosus (LE) cell. He observed two unusual phenomena in several bone marrow preparations while adding serum from patients with lupus erythematosus to bone marrow preparations from normal subjects.[8]
- In 1954, Miescher and Fauconnet observed that absorption of lupus serum with nuclei prevented its ability to induce the LE cell phenomenon, suggesting that a globulin in the serum was reacting with, or destroying, the nuclei.[8]
- In 1954, researchers at the Cleveland Clinic were the first to describe drug-induced lupus erythematosus, which was induced by the antihypertensive drug hydralazine.[9]
- in 1958, George Friou discovered that the substance in the serum of patients with lupus erythematosus that reacted to the nuclei of cells was gamma globulin. He also discovered that the target in the nucleus was the complex of DNA and histones. He described the indirect immunoflourescence test to detect antinuclear antibodies. Autoantibodies like nuclear ribonucleoprotein (nRNP), Smith, Ro, La, and anticardiolipin antibodies were discovered based on his primary work.[9]
- In 1959, a breakthrough in the understanding of lupus was made by the discovery of a lethal kidney disease in Otago Medical School in New Zealand. It provided many insights into disease mechanisms in immunopathogenesis of auto-antibody formation, immunologic tolerance, and the development of glomerulonephritis in lupus. The discovery also led to better evaluation of newer therapeutic agents in lupus erythematosus.[4]
- In 1971, the first classification criteria for lupus was established.
- In 1982, the criteria were revised by the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) to incorporate new advances in serologic testing (ANA and anti-dsDNA) and improved biostatistical techniques.[4][7]
- In 2012, the Systemic Lupus Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) revised and validated the American College of Rheumatology (ACR) SLE classification criteria in order to improve clinical relevance, meet stringent methodology requirements, and incorporate new knowledge in SLE immunology.[4]
