R Sharmila prepared this document about systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). SLE is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system attacks its own tissues, causing inflammation in connective tissues like skin and joints. Common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain and swelling, rashes, and blood disorders. The causes are not fully known but may involve genetic and environmental factors like UV exposure and stress. The condition results from a defect where the body produces antibodies against its own proteins, triggering inflammation. Treatment focuses on relieving symptoms and involves medications like anti-inflammatories, steroids, and stress reduction.

Characteristic feature is across the cheeks and the nose, called "Butterfly rashes". Rash does not itch. Tiny red spots appear on the skin called as Petechiae, it leads to bleeding under the skin. It develop kidney problem too. It affects women more than men.
SYMPTOMS: Fatigue Joint pain Joint swelling Rashes on the skin Aneamia Blood clot
CAUSES: Exposure to UV rays Stress Certain medication induce SLE
PATHOGENESIS: Body produces own antibodies against self protein. It is a Type III Hypersensitivity. T cell regulate B cell responses and infiltrate target tissues, have defects in signalling, adhesion, co stimulation, gene transcription and alternative splicing. Cytokine B cell stimulator (BLys), IL-6, IL-17, IL- 18, type I interferons and TNF 留 are involved in the inflammation process. Apoptosis is increased.
