Journal Title: International Journal of Clinical Rheumatology - Year 2017, Vol 12, Issue 2
Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease. It is a multisystem disease which can involve any organ in the body. Most of the SLE cases are seropositive which depend on positive test for antinuclear antibody (ANA), Lupus erythematous (LE) cells, and antibody to DNA but seronegative SLE cases also rarely can present with complications.
