Lupus:
Systemic (SLE)
Definition:
Lupus is an autoimmune disorder (the body is attacking itself)
of the connective tissues that affects eight times more women
(between the ages of 20 and 40) than men. Among ethnic backgrounds,
those of African, Native American, and Asian descent develop the
condition more frequently than those of European ancestry.
Lupus can be mild such as discoid lupus (DLE), affecting exposed
areas of the skin, and sometimes the joints, to life-threatening
(systemic lupus erythematosis), affecting more organs of the body.
Symptoms
vary according to the severity of the illness and which organs
are affected. Initial signs include arthritis, a red "butterfly"
rash across the bridge of the nose and on the cheeks (in SLE),
or more of a red, circular, thickened areas that leave scars (in
DLE). Lupus is the Latin word for "wolf," and
erythema means "redness"; the typical red skin sores
are said to resemble a wolf's bite.
Other
symptoms include weakness, prolonged and extreme fatigue, and
weight loss. SLE may occur very abruptly with a fever and
mimic an acute infection or it may occur very slowly over months
and years with only several episodes of fever and fatigue. SLE
may be classified as mild if the symptoms are mainly fever, joint
pain, rash, headaches, pleurisy, and pericarditis, but is often
chronic with periods of improvement and relapse. There can also
be years of remission in between periods of symptoms.
