Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystem inflammatory disease characterized by antinuclear antibody production. The diagnosis of this disease is established on the basis of a constellation of clinical and serologic features. Therapy is directed to specific disease manifestations and involves an array of anti-inflammatory and immunosuppressive agents that are administered judiciously to limit toxicity.
