Explain why lupus can be difficult to diagnose

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Because lupus signs and symptoms mimic those of other illnesses, are sometimes vague, and may come and go, lupus can be difficult to diagnose. No single test will confirm the diagnosis of lupus. Lupus tends to be chronic and relapsing, often with symptom-free remissions that can last for years.
