This study found that cutaneous manifestations, including specific skin lesions and oral ulceration, are common early indicators of SLE and may aid in its diagnosis and management.

This study found that skin lesions in systemic lupus erythematosus patients are significant for diagnosis and prognosis, with malar rash and diffuse hair loss being common indicators of disease activity.

This case study identified a 22-year-old patient with multiple autoimmune syndrome type 3, involving lupus erythematosus, autoimmune thyroiditis, alopecia areata, and vitiligo.

This case report details a 27-year-old woman's diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus with immune-mediated intravascular haemolysis, which improved with steroid treatment.

This case report describes a 17-year-old female patient diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, presenting with arthralgia, hair loss, and Raynaud's phenomenon. The diagnosis was supported by elevated ESR and positive autoantibodies, and treatment included hydroxychloroquine and prednisone.

This study found that lower GPX4 mRNA levels in polymorphonuclear neutrophils of systemic lupus erythematosus patients were negatively associated with disease activity and serological markers, suggesting a diagnostic value for GPX4 mRNA.

In this case report, a patient with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus and exfoliative erythroderma achieved complete remission with systemic corticosteroids and long-term hydroxychloroquine.

This case report describes a 16-year-old girl with both tinea faciale and systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting the challenges in differentiating overlapping dermatoses.

This case report describes a rare patient with Sjogren's syndrome who experienced recurrent pneumothorax, resolved through surgical intervention, highlighting pneumothorax as an unusual complication of the condition.

This case report describes a 62-year-old woman diagnosed with undifferentiated connective tissue disease and renal amyloidosis, presenting symptoms like joint pain, Raynaud's phenomenon, and carpal tunnel syndrome.

This study found that Arabs with systemic lupus erythematosus in Dubai exhibit clinical features similar to SLE patients in other Arab and Western countries, with notable high prevalence of positive anti-Ro antibodies.

Infliximab may cause hair loss in Crohn's disease patients.

This case report documents a 57-year-old man with nephrotic syndrome linked to recurrent chronic graft-versus-host disease and lupus-like symptoms, with improvement after cyclosporin and steroids; however, he died later from leukemia relapse.

This study reported that tuberculosis can mimic lupus-like symptoms, including the production of autoantibodies, which may confuse the diagnosis with systemic lupus erythematosus flares.

This case study describes a previously unknown association of the PIBIDS complex with autoimmune thyroiditis and autoimmune hemolytic anemia in a five-year-old Indian child.

This study suggests that Arabs with systemic lupus erythematosus in Dubai show similar clinical features to patients from other Arab and Western countries, with a notable prevalence of positive anti-Ro antibodies.

This case report documents the development of vitiligo-like lesions in a patient with autoimmune thyroiditis following the use of topical squaric acid dibutylester for alopecia.

In this case study, a 30-year-old woman with symptoms including fever, joint pain, and skin ulcers was diagnosed with Lupus Vasculitis and treated with steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine after tests showed positive anti-nuclear and anti-Ro antibodies and reduced serum complement levels.

In this case study, a 36-year-old female with severe lupus enteritis and intestinal pseudo-obstruction showed significant clinical improvement after treatment with intravenous methylprednisolone, hydroxychloroquine, and cyclophosphamide, highlighting the complexities and challenges in diagnosing and managing atypical lupus manifestations.

This case report describes a patient with systemic lupus erythematosus who developed leukocytoclastic vasculitis, suggesting this skin condition may be related to SLE exacerbation.

This paper reviews Satoyoshi syndrome and suggests diagnostic criteria to differentiate its subtypes, emphasizing the importance of testing alopecia areata patients for antinuclear antibodies, muscle spasms, and diarrhea.

This study found that in female patients with COVID-19-related hair loss, diffuse hair loss and antinuclear antibody positivity might be linked to high antibody levels triggered by the infection.
