Background

  • Autoimmune disorder affecting all systems

Epidemiology

  • Female:Male 10:1
  • More common in African Americans


Clinical Features

Diagnostic Criteria: 4 out of 11 of the following:

  1. Malar rash
  2. Discoid rash
  3. Photosensitivity
  4. Oral ulcers
  5. Arthritis (polyarticular)
  6. Serositis (Pericarditis or pleuritis)
  7. Renal disorder (renal failure, protenuria, casts)
  8. Neurologic or psychotic symptoms
  9. Hematologic (anemia, thrombocytopenia, or leukopenia)
  10. Immunologic (+antibofy testing)
  11. ANA (positive ANA)

Organ system affected:

  • Musculoskeletal
    • Arthritis
      • Usually symmetric
      • Consider septic arthritis if there is a single inflamed joint
  • GI
    • Lupus enteritis (mesenteric vasculitis)
      • Most common cause of acute abdominal pain
    • Pancreatitis
    • PUD
  • Dermatologic
    • Malar rash across bridge of nose
    • Discoid rash, erythematous with scale
    • Treat with topical 1% hydrocortisone
  • Renal


Differential Diagnosis

Flair

  • Bedside echo if ill or hypotensive
  • CBC
  • Chem
  • UA
  • As directed by organ system involved

Management

  • Inflammatory complications
    • Methylprednisolone 1-2mg/kg in most cases
