A local family is hoping to raise awareness surrounding lupus, an autoimmune disease causing the body’s immune system to attack healthy tissue, after their niece’s unexpected death.
Sarguneet ‘Sargun’ Kaur recently passed away from the disease at age 20 after a two-month ICU stint at Prince George’s University Hospital.
“It was very sudden. She got sick really fast,” Ravinder Kaur, Sargun’s cousin, told
MyPGNow.
“She was walking, talking, then within hours we received a call that she was in critical care. We didn’t know she had lupus until about halfway through her medical stay.”
