Strain

This can mean a particular type, such as a strain of hepatitis being eiter hepatitis A or hepatitis B

How do I say: My friend has a particular strain of lupus and she is worried that it is changing into another one.

Thanks.

Tipo, clase, variedad o cepa.

Dentro de la misma enfermedad infecciosa causada por el mismo microorganismo con pequeña variación genética: cepa ---> una cepa resistente a los antibióticos, por ejemplo en la tuberculosis.

Cuando se trata de diferentes microorganismos emparentados: tipo, clase o variedad ---> hepatitis (a virus) A, hepatitis (a virus) B, antiguamente "hepatitis no A - no B" ahora hepatitis C, D, E y alguna más.

Cuando se describen por un conjunto de síntomas (tipificación): tipo

Pero con respecto al lupus eritematoso sistémico no sé que haya "tipos". Puede cambiar la forma de manifestarse (antes se manifestaba de una forma, ahora se manifiesta de otra), o puede ser que no se tuviera diagnóstico definitivo (muchas enfermedades autoinmunes comienzan de manera similar).
