Systemic lupus erythematosus, abbreviated SLE, is a common autoimmune disorder that typically affects multiple organs.
Diagnosis
The diagnosis rests on the evaluation of eleven clinical/laboratory criteria; if four of the eleven criteria are present, the diagnosis is made.[1]
Criteria
Mnemonic DAMP AS RHINO:[2]
- Discoid rash.
- ANA +ve
- Sensitivity ~99%;[3] negative finding essential excludes the diagnosis.
- Malar rash.
- Photosensitive.
- Arthritis.
- Serositis (pericardial or pleural).
- Renal dysfunction.
- Proteinuria (>0.5 g/day) or cellular casts.
- Hematologic abnormality.
- Includes: anemia, leukopenia, lymphopenia, thrombocytopenia, hypocomplementemia (low C3 & C4).
- Immunologic abnormality.
- Neurologic abnormality, e.g. seizures, psychosis.
- Oral ulcer or nasal ulcer.
Prognosis
Survival:[4]
- ~90% @ 10 years.
Mortality (leading causes):[4]
- Active SLE - esp. kidney involvement.
- Infections.
- Thrombosis.

SLE can have a variety of skin manifestations:
- Vacuolar interface dermatitis (lupus erythematosus) - classic finding.
- Panniculitis.
- Bullae (bullous systemic lupus erythematosus).
- Deep and superficial dermal, lymphocyte predominant, inflammation.

- Abbreviated LE cell.
- AKA LE body
- Initially described in bone marrow.[5]
