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.
    • Anti-Smith antibody, APLA, VDRL false positive (test for syphilis).
  • 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.

  • Panniculitis.
  • Bullae (bullous systemic lupus erythematosus).
  • Deep and superficial dermal, lymphocyte predominant, inflammation.
