Product Description
Systemic lupus erythematosus can present in many ways, often mimicking other diseases. In this article, Drs Greenberg and Michalska describe the numerous manifestations of this chronic disease, the widely accepted criteria for diagnosis, and the therapeutic measures that can prolong survival and decrease morbidity.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is frustrating to the medical community and patients alike. The cause of this autoimmune disease is unknown, and nearly all of its clinical features are seen in other diseases as well. Further, the classic malar rash specific to SLE occurs in less than half of SLE patients, and diagnostic tests touted over the past half century have shown crossover with other autoimmune diseases (1). However, certain clinical and laboratory criteria may point strongly to SLE and enable the selection of appropriate treatment. ... Read more

Excerpt: Systemic lupus erythematosus (pronounced ( listen), often abbreviated to SLE or lupus, is a chronic autoimmune connective tissue disease that can affect any part of the body. As occurs in other autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the bodys cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage. SLE most often harms the heart, joints, skin, lungs, blood vessels, liver, kidneys, and nervous system. The course of the disease is unpredictable, with periods of illness (called flares) alternating with remissions. The disease occurs nine times more often in women than in men, especially between the ages of 15 and 50, and is more common in those of non-European descent. SLE is treatable through addressing its symptoms, mainly with cyclophosphamides, corticosteroids and immunosuppressants; there is currently no cure. SLE can be fatal, although with recent medical advances, fatalities are becoming increasingly rare. Survival for people with SLE in the United States, Canada, and Europe is approximately 95% at five years, 90% at 10 years, and 78% at 20 years. Common symptoms of SLE.SLE is one of several diseases known as "the great imitators" because it often mimics or is mistaken for other illnesses. SLE is a classical item in differential diagnosis, because SLE symptoms vary widely and come and go unpredictably. Diagnosis can thus be elusive, with some people suffering unexplained symptoms of untreated SLE for years. Common initial and chronic complaints include fever, malaise, joint pains, myalgias, fatigue, and temporary loss of cognitive abilities. Because they are so often seen with other diseases, these signs and symptoms are not part of the diagnostic criter...More: http://booksllc.net/?id=21009880 ... Read more
