Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that may affect many organ systems including the skin, joints and internal organs. |
The course of the disease may vary from a mild episodic illness to a severe fatal disease. The following organ system manifestations may be seen, but other manifestations are possible. |
-
Musculoskeletal - Almost all people with SLE have joint pain and most develop arthritis. Frequently affected joints are the fingers, hands, wrists, and knees. Death of bone tissue can occur in the hips and shoulders and is frequently a cause of pain in those areas.
-
Skin - A "butterfly" rash over the cheeks and bridge of the nose affects about half of those with SLE. The rash is usually worsened by sunlight. A more diffuse rash may appear on other body parts that are exposed to the sun. Other skin lesions or nodules can also occur.
-
Kidney - Some people with SLE have deposits of protein within the cells (glomeruli) of the kidney. However, less than 50% have lupus nephritis as defined by persistent inflammation in the kidney.
-
Nervous system - Neurologic disorders can affect up to 25% of those with SLE. Mild mental dysfunction is the most common symptom, but any area of the brain, spinal cord, or nervous system can be affected. Seizures, psychosis, organic brain syndrome, and headaches are some of the varied nervous system disorders that can occur.
-
Blood - Blood disorders can affect up to 85% of those with SLE. Venous or arterial blood clots can form and are associated with strokes and pulmonary embolism, or pregnancy loss. Predisposition to blood clots, or less commonly bleeding, occurs due to antibodies against lipids involved in blood clotting and is referred to as anti-phospholipid antibody syndrome (APS). Often platelets are decreased which may cause bleeding or clotting problems. Anemia of chronic disease often develops at some point in the course SLE.
-
Heart - Inflammation of various parts of the heart may occur as pericarditis, endocarditis, or myocarditis. Chest pain and arrhythmias may result from these conditions.
-
Lungs - Pleurisy, an inflammation of the lining of the lung, and pleural effusions, a fluid collection between the lung and its lining, can occur as a result of SLE. Chest pain and shortness of breath are frequently results of these disorders
|
The disease affects 9 times as many women as men. SLE may also be caused by certain drugs. When this occurs, it is known as drug-induced lupus erythematosus and it is usually reversible when the medication is stopped. |
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the most common form of chronic cutaneous lupus. It is a chronic skin disease characterized by sharply marginated dull, red macules with adherent scales extending into areas of atrophy, telangiectasias, or follicular plugging. |
-
Localized DLE - more common form with lesions occurring on the face especially the malar areas, bridge of nose, lower lip, lower eyelids and ears
-
Generalized DLE - lesions seen on upper extremities and thorax most often, along with usual sites for localized DLE
|
In discoid lupus, only the skin is involved. Discoid lupus skin rashes are usually painless and do not itch, but scarring of discoid skin lesions can cause permanent hair loss. Over time, 5 to 10% of patients with discoid lupus may develop systemic lupus. |
