The
Pittsburgh Tribune-Review 
(1/13, Greenwood) reports, "A new blood test that researchers in
Pittsburgh developed to help doctors better diagnose lupus now is
available for everyday use. ... The test completed a 'validation study'
last year when it was offered through trials in 14 hospitals in the
United States. It now is being offered to doctors and patients
nationwide," according to researchers at the Lupus Center of Excellence
at West Penn Allegheny. "Lupus is a chronic autoimmune
disease that causes inflammation and damage to parts of the body,
including skin, joints and kidneys, according to the Lupus Foundation of
America."
