Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) Overview

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease in which the immune system produces autoantibodies—most notably anti‑nuclear and anti‑double‑stranded DNA antibodies—that attack healthy tissues and organs. It predominantly affects women of childbearing age and is highly variable in presentation, ranging from fatigue, fever, arthritis, and skin rashes such as the classic malar rash, to severe organ involvement including lupus nephritis, cardiovascular disease, pulmonary manifestations, and neurological complications. The disease course is unpredictable, with alternating periods of remission and flares that can lead to cumulative organ damage. Diagnosis is based on a combination of clinical features and immunological markers, often guided by established classification criteria. Treatment requires individualized management, typically involving corticosteroids, immunosuppressants, and biologic therapies targeting B‑cell or interferon pathways, alongside supportive care and lifestyle adjustments.
