Background
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an inflammatory connective tissue
disease with variable manifestations (eg, rash; see the images
below). [1, 2, 3] SLE may affect many organ systems with immune complexes
and a large array of autoantibodies, particularly antinuclear antibodies (ANAs).
It is a disease characterized by relapses, flares, and remissions. Common
manifestations, in addition to the malar rash, include cutaneous
photosensitivity, nephropathy, serositis, and polyarthritis. The overall outcome
of the disease is highly variable with extremes ranging from permanent
remission to death. [4]
