A 15-year-old female with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with lupus nephritis, cerebritis, and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (DAH). Initial symptoms included joint pain, facial redness, fatigue, and hair loss. Lab tests showed high antinuclear and double-stranded DNA antibodies. Despite treatment with methylprednisolone, she developed severe symptoms including headache, fever, vision loss, and hemoptysis. Cyclophosphamide treatment led to significant improvement. DAH, a rare but serious SLE complication, should be suspected in SLE patients with progressive dyspnea, desaturation, and hemoglobin decrease. The case highlights the importance of early recognition and treatment to improve outcomes.

research Late Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: Clinical and Autoantibody Profile Compared with Young Onset Systemic Lupus Erythematosus
This study compared the clinical features and autoantibody profiles of late onset (≥50 years) and young onset (18-49 years) Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) in 305 patients. Late onset SLE patients (n=69) had a mean age of 59.42 years and showed higher frequencies of interstitial lung disease (14.5%), pancytopenia (13%), and diffuse alveolar hemorrhage (4.3%). Significant differences between the groups included higher rates of photosensitivity, malar rash, excessive hair loss, Raynaud's phenomenon, lymphadenopathy, nephritis, and specific autoantibodies (anti-dsDNA, anti-nucleosome, anti-Sm, Ribosomes P0) in young onset SLE. The study concludes that late onset SLE has distinct clinical and serological characteristics compared to young onset SLE.

The user shared their 12-month hair regrowth progress using 1mg finasteride, 5mg oral minoxidil, and topical minoxidil. They also used a derma stamp weekly and treated seborrheic dermatitis with Mometasone and Nizoral.
community Diffuse hair loss and scalp biopsies
Scalp biopsies are crucial for diagnosing hair loss conditions like Diffuse Unpatterned Alopecia (DUPA) and retrograde hair loss, as treatments like finasteride and dutasteride may not be effective if other conditions are present. Combining PPAR-GAMMA agonists with retinoids could improve treatments for conditions like Lichen Planopilaris.
