Cutaneous lupus erythematosus
Lupus Erythematosus (LE) of the skin comprises an uncommon group of skin disorders including: Jessner's lymphocytic infiltrate may also be a type of cutaneous lupus. Cutaneous LE most often affects young adult women (aged 20 to 50). Cutaneous LE can be provoked by sunlight but it is actually more common in dark skinned than in fair skinned people. Sunscreens do not totally prevent it.
Facial discoid lupus
Discoid lupus on the fingers Discoid LE In the most common form, discoid LE, unsightly red scaly patches develop which leave white scars. Discoid LE predominantly affects the cheeks and nose, but sometimes involves the upper back, V of neck, and backs of hands. Bald areas can develop if the hair follicles are involved. Discoid LE may affect the lips causing ulcers and scaling. Subacute LE In subacute LE, a non-itchy ring-shaped dry rash appears on the upper back and chest, often following sun exposure. It includes the following clinical types:

Who has lupus?
Lupus affects up to 1.4 million people in the United States. About 9 out of 10 people who have lupus are women. Lupus is 3 times more common in black women than in white women. It is also more common in women of Hispanic/Latina, Asian, and American Indian descent. Black and Hispanic/Latina women tend to develop symptoms at an earlier age than other women. African Americans have more severe organ problems, especially with their kidneys.
What are the different types of lupus?
There are several forms of lupus: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) SLE is the most common type of lupus. SLE can affect many parts of the body including joints, skin, kidneys, lungs, heart, blood vessels, nervous system, blood, and brain. Although SLE usually develops in people between the ages of 15 and 44 years, it can occur in childhood or later in life. The signs of SLE vary and there are usually periods of both illness and wellness (also called remission or having no symptoms). Some people have just a few signs of the disease while others have more. Its symptoms can include:
  • "butterfly" rash across the nose and cheeks

Systemic lupus erythematosus Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), commonly known as Lupus, is a very old disease and was first named 135 years ago. It got its name from the very distinctive facial rash that gives a person the appearance of having been attacked by a wolf. The facial rash, which is also known as a butterfly rash, can occur after exposure to sunlight. This, however, is only one of the many different features of this autoimmune disease, which can affect almost every organ system. Lupus has been referred to as the disease with 1,000 faces. Lupus is relatively rare, affecting approximately 1 per 1,000, of whom 95% are women. It is more common in Africans, American Indians and Asians than in Caucasians. The disease can occur at any age, but typically starts in 20- to 30-year-old individuals. What causes the disease is unknown; however, many genes as well as the environment likely contribute to susceptibility and disease course.

    Systemic lupus erythematosus
    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease in which the individual's immune system attacks, injures, and destroys the body's own organs and tissues. Nearly every system of the body can be affected by SLE, as depicted in the illustration above. (Illustration by Electronic Illustrators Group.) Definition
    Systemic lupus erythematosus (also called lupus or SLE) is a disease where a person's immune system attacks and injures the body's own organs and tissues. Almost every system of the body can be affected by SLE. Description
    The body's immune system is a network of cells and tissues responsible for clearing the body of invading foreign organisms, like bacteria, viruses, and fungi. Antibodies are special immune cells that recognize these foreign invaders, and begin a chain of events to destroy them. In an autoimmune disorder like SLE, a person's antibodies begin to recognize the body's own tissues as foreign. Cells and chemicals of the immune system damage the tissues of the body. The reaction that occurs in tissue is called inflammation. Inflammation includes swelling, redness, increased blood flow, and tissue destruction. In SLE, some of the common antibodies that normally fight diseases are thought to be out of control. These include antinuclear antibodies and anti-DNA antibodies. Antinuclear antibodies are directed against the cell's central structure that contains genetic material (the nucleus). Anti-DNA antibodies are directed against the cell's genetic material. DNA is the chemical substance that makes up the chromosomes and genes.

    Editorial Systemic lupus erythematosus: current management Use the available agents innovatively, and aggressively treat the risk factors for premature vascular disease MJA
    Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that may affect many organs, especially the skin, musculoskeletal, vascular and renal systems. It occurs predominantly in women of childbearing age, but also affects people in their sixth decade or older. In these patients, female predominance is less marked and renal disease less common. The natural history of the disease has changed over the past 20-30 years; survival rates have increased from 50% at five years in the 1950s to 80%-90% at 10 years in the 1990s. The explanations for this improvement include earlier diagnosis, recognition of milder disease, advances in medical therapy, and better supportive care, including renal replacement therapy. Despite these advances, the standardised mortality ratio for lupus remains at 3. Morbidity and mortality rates are bimodal, with early events related to disease activity or infection and later events often due to premature vascular disease such as stroke and myocardial ischaemia. Currently, minor manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (cutaneous, musculoskeletal, fatigue) are managed with non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs), antimalarial drugs (particularly hydroxychloroquine) and low-dose corticosteroids. The selective COX-2 inhibitors, celecoxib (a sulfonamide) and rofecoxib, are now available in Australia. With their lower gastrointestinal toxicity, they represent a significant advance. Patients with lupus, however, have a high prevalence of sulfonamide allergy (20% in some studies) and 30%-50% have antiphospholipid antibodies, which are associated with arteriovenous thrombosis and miscarriages (the antiphospholipid syndrome). Case reports of thrombotic events in patients with antiphospholipid antibodies taking COX-2 inhibitors necessitate judicious use of these drugs until further data are available.

    Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
    WHAT IS SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS?
    Systemic lupus erythematosus is a chronic, often life-long, autoimmune disease that ranges from mild to severe and afflicts mostly women. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may affect widespread sites, but it most often manifests in the skin, joints, blood, and kidneys. SLE was first described in 1828. Its very name helps define the disease:
    Systemic is used because the disease can affect organs and tissue throughout the body.
    Lupus is Latin for wolf. It refers to the rash that extends across the bridge of the nose and upper cheekbones and was thought to resemble a wolf bite.
    Erythematosus is from the Greek word for red and refers to the color of the rash.
    The primary characteristics of the disease are the following:
    • Fatigue.
    • Joint pain.
    • Recurrent injuries in the vessels that course through the body.

    Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disease that may affect many organs including the joints, skin, kidneys, heart, lungs, blood vessels, and brain. Although people with the disease may have many different symptoms, some of the most common ones include extreme fatigue, painful or swollen joints (arthritis), unexplained fever, skin rashes, and kidney problems. Two of the questions researchers are studying are who gets lupus and why. We know that many more women than men have lupus. Lupus is three times more common in black women than in white women and is also more common in women of Hispanic, Asian, and Native American descent.

    Mild SLE
    Not long ago, systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was thought to be fatal in nearly all cases. Few SLE patients lived much longer than five years after being diagnosed. In recent decades, thankfully, the outlook for those with SLE has brightened. According to the latest figures, more than 80% of those diagnosed with SLE will survive more than ten years and many will enjoy a normal life span.
    We have made dramatic progress against SLE because potent new antibiotics are available to combat and prevent the serious and unusual infections that may complicate SLE. In addition, more effective corticocosteroids and immunosuppressive drugs now enable treatments for the various kinds of organ damage that SLE can cause. A good example is end stage renal disease, a potentially fatal kidney condition, which can be managed with improved dialysis and kidney transplant techniques. Finally, better diagnostic tests are helping doctors detect SLE earlier and identify milder forms of SLE that in the past would have been missed.

Antibodies Definition: A chronic, inflammatory autoimmune disorder that may affect many organ systems including the skin, joints and internal organs. Alternative Names: Disseminated lupus erythematosus; SLE; Lupus; Lupus erythematosus Causes, incidence, and risk factors: Normally the immune system controls the body's defenses against infection. In systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and other autoimmune diseases , these defenses are turned against the body and rogue immune cells attack tissues. Antibodies may be produced that can react against the body's blood cells, organs, and tissues. These lead immune cells to attack the affected systems, producing chronic disease. The mechanism or cause of autoimmune diseases is not fully known, but many researchers suspect it occurs following infection with an organism that looks similar to particular proteins in the body, which are later mistaken for the organism and wrongly targeted for attack.
    The disease affects 9 times as many women as men. It may occur at any age, but appears most often in people between the ages of 10 and 50 years. SLE may also be caused by certain drugs. When this occurs, it is known as

    Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Malar rash on a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus. Signs and Symptoms: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) commonly presents in young and middle-aged women, who comprise up to 90% of all SLE sufferers. SLE is three times more common in blacks than in other races, and Asians display an increased incidence of SLE vs. Caucasians. Patients suffer chronic relapses and an unpredictable course secondary to a hyperactive immune system and excessive autoantibody production. Because lupus affects many organ systems, it creates a diverse clinical picture including erythematosus rash, polyarthralgia and arthritis, anemia, and cardiac, renal and neurologic abnormalities. Renal failure is a major cause of death in those suffering from severe, chronic SLE. The skin changes associated with SLE are described as a butterfly rash, often the primary manifestation of SLE. Ocular manifestations, which occur in up to 20% of SLE patients, also may be the initial presenting sign, and may precede systemic signs or symptoms by several months.

There are several forms of lupus erythematosus that are recognized in people, two of which have been identified in dogs. Lupus is an autoimmune disorder, meaning that the body mounts an inappropriate immune response to some part of itself. Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an uncommon but severe disorder in which the inappropriate immune response is widespread in the body, and can cause arthritis, kidney disease, anemia, and skin disease. Cutaneous lupus erythematosus (CLE) is thought to be a milder variant of SLE, and the problems are confined to the skin. CLE is also called discoid lupus erythematosus How is lupus erythematosus inherited? unknown, but the condition runs in families. What breeds are affected by lupus erythematosus CLE is seen more often than SLE, although both conditions are uncommon. There is a breed predisposition for the collie, Shetland sheepdog, and German shepherd, as well as crosses of these breeds. For many breeds and many disorders, the studies to determine the mode of inheritance or the frequency in the breed have not been carried out, or are inconclusive. We have listed breeds for which there is a consensus among those investigating in this field and among veterinary practitioners, that the condition is significant in this breed.

Characteristic and significant musculoskeletal abnormalities in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus may include myositis , symmetric polyarthritis deforming nonerosive arthropathy , subchondral cysts , spontaneous tendon weakening and rupture, osteonecrosis , soft tissue calcification, osteomyelitis septic arthritis and miscellaneous other abnormalities. Joint symptoms and signs are of variable severity and are most frequent in the small joints of the hand, knee, wrist and shoulder. On radiographs soft tissue swelling and periarticular osteoporosis are observed; cartilage and bone destruction is rare.

    Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
    What is systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE)?
    Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune disease. This means that your body's defenses against infection are attacking your own tissue. This causes inflammation. Areas of the skin or joints become painful, red, and swollen. Other parts of the body can also become inflamed and injured, including the muscles, kidneys, nervous system, blood, lungs, and heart. SLE, also called lupus, is a serious, chronic disease, which means it never goes away completely.
