Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE is an autoimmune disorder characterised by the inflammation of the joints, cells, skin, brain, heart, lungs, and kidneys.

Normally, a healthy immune system is able to fight off any viral or bacterial infections to keep up with the body’s function. But if there are any faults in the immune system, it starts to attack the body and cause damage to the organs.

One of the most common forms of lupus is systemic lupus erythematosus.

The signs and symptoms of lupus are hard to be diagnosed as they often seem to be similar to other conditions. One of the signs relatable to lupus is a facial rash that appears on both sides of the cheeks.
