In this study, SLE was found to be uncommon among patients with rheumatological complaints in Uganda, with a notable overlap with rheumatoid arthritis and frequent presentation of complications.

This case report describes a rare complication of prostaglandin analogue eye drops for glaucoma, where a patient experienced extensive unwanted malar hair growth, leading to potential therapy discontinuation.

This study found that the locked cheek lift technique effectively corrects cheek gravitational migration and reduces the lid cheek distance with minimal complications, maintaining results for over a year.

This study reports that late onset systemic lupus erythematosus in India shows distinct clinical and serological characteristics compared to young onset cases, particularly in symptoms such as interstitial lung disease and autoantibody profiles.

This study found diverse clinical presentations in patients with newly detected connective tissue disease, highlighting the diagnostic and prognostic importance of cutaneous features.

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.

This case report describes a woman in her 30s diagnosed with systemic lupus erythematosus, characterized by alopecia, arthritis, photosensitivity, and skin rashes, confirmed through positive serology.

This case report describes a 29-year-old man with systemic lupus erythematosus who responded well to pulse-dose methylprednisolone treatment.

This study found that cutaneous manifestations in children with systemic lupus erythematosus differ from adults, with no female preponderance and less frequent photosensitivity and vascular lesions.

This study observed that certain skin symptoms in SLE, such as malar rash and photosensitivity, are linked to systemic involvement, indicating their potential role as markers for disease activity.

This case report illustrates that prompt diagnosis and treatment of myositis in an SLE patient can lead to symptom resolution and highlights this condition as a rare SLE complication.

This case report illustrates that prompt diagnosis and management of myositis, a rare manifestation of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, can lead to favorable patient outcomes, as demonstrated by symptom resolution and normal electromyocardiography findings.

This study explored the intersection of art and medicine, specifically examining the depiction of the malar rash associated with lupus in historical paintings. The authors suggest that this approach, known as iconodiagnosis, can enhance medical education and understanding of disease manifestations through visual arts.

This study found that acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, particularly malar rash, was the most common skin manifestation among SLE patients in Bangladesh, with significant occurrences of nonspecific lesions like alopecia and mucosal ulcers.

This study found that certain blood and urine markers, such as reduced hemoglobin and leukocyte counts and elevated proteinuria, are significant in diagnosing juvenile systemic lupus erythematosus, underscoring the need for further research to refine diagnostic criteria and improve patient outcomes.

In this case study, a 25-year-old presented with symptoms of lupus but tested negative for antinuclear antibodies, complicating diagnosis. The researchers emphasize that comprehensive diagnostic approaches, beyond ANA testing, are vital for effectively identifying and treating lupus nephritis to avoid serious outcomes.

The researchers in this study observed that while hair chemical use was common among females with SLE, it was not linked to the development of SLE. However, those who used chemical hair straighteners before their SLE diagnosis had a higher risk of developing cutaneous manifestations.

This case report describes a 43-year-old woman diagnosed with both Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease and systemic lupus erythematosus, who showed clinical improvement after treatment with glucocorticoids and hydroxychloroquine, highlighting the rare coexistence of these conditions and the ongoing uncertainty about the precise cause of Kikuchi-Fujimoto disease.

This study examines a diagnostic case of SLE with atypical symptoms linked to thymoma-related multiorgan autoimmunity.

This case report describes a 42-year-old woman with Rhupus, a rare overlap syndrome of rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus, highlighting challenges in diagnosis due to non-specific clinical criteria and documenting specific symptoms such as inflammatory arthritis, malar rash, and hematological abnormalities observed during follow-up.

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 study used a Lebanese national registry to document dermatologic symptoms related to COVID-19 and its vaccines, noting that urticaria and telogen effluvium were common during infection, while urticaria and herpes zoster were notable post-vaccination.

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 case study details a 30-year-old woman diagnosed with Lupus Vasculitis, presenting with symptoms like intermittent fever, joint pain, and respiratory issues, after tests revealed specific antibody patterns and reduced complement levels, leading to treatment with steroids, mycophenolate mofetil, and hydroxychloroquine.

This case report describes digital gangrene as a rare primary manifestation of late-onset systemic lupus erythematosus in a 56-year-old man, with marked lesion improvement following rituximab treatment.

This study found that skin changes such as pigmentary alterations, vascular and connective tissue changes are common during pregnancy, with areola/nipple darkening and striae gravidarum frequently observed.

This study found that in the Indian population, SLE patients with only skin manifestations often had a positive immunological profile, suggesting early identification of disease before systemic symptoms develop.

This study found that all examined biomarkers and clinical features were elevated in systemic lupus erythematosus patients, particularly ANA and Anti-dsDNA autoantibodies, but no single biomarker was sensitive or specific enough for diagnosis.

This study found that among 26 pregnant patients with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, the most common pregnancy complication was intrauterine growth restriction.

This chapter reviews skin manifestations in common rheumatic diseases, particularly those with polyarthritis, and offers a differential diagnosis of erythema nodosum without presenting new research findings.
