Naomi Sen Aim ◦ To give an outline of the diagnosis and management of SLE Objectives ◦ To describe signs and symptoms of SLE ◦ To outline relevant investigations ◦ To describe management of SLE Pathogenesis Epidemiology and risk factors Presentation Investigations Associated illnesses Management Pregnancy and fertility Prognosis Summary SLE is a heterogeneous, inflammatory, multisystem autoimmune disease in which antinuclear antibodies occur. heterogeneous, inflammatory, multisystem autoimmune disease in which antinuclear antibodies occur.
