Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
Systemic lupus erythematosus, often called SLE or lupus, is a chronic inflammatory disease that can affect the skin, joints, kidneys, lungs, nervous system, and other organs of the body. It is sometimes labeled the “great imitator” because its wide variety of symptoms can often be confused with other disorders.

However, improvements in therapy have significantly increased these patients’ quality of life and their life expectancy.
