erythematosus) .Is an autoimmune disease
in which the body's immune system
mistakenly attacks healthy tissue in many
parts of the body

Symptoms of SLE
Symptoms vary among people and may be mild
to severe.Common symptoms include painful
and swollen joints, fever, chest pain, hair loss,
mouth ulcers, swollen lymph nodes, feeling tired,
and a red rash which is most commonly on the
face. Often there are periods of illness, called
flares, and periods of remission during which there
are few symptoms.

The name of the disease was given because of its
characteristic sign - a rash on the bridge of the
nose and cheeks (the affected area resembles a
butterfly in shape), which, as was believed in the
Middle Ages, resembles the places of wolf bites

is thought that this may be due mainly to genetics and
the environment.
Several factors that increase the chance of getting sick:
Female sex hormones, sunlight, smoking, vitamin D
deficiency, and certain infections are also believed to
increase a person's risk

cured of SLE, but remission can be achieved.

cardiovascular system of the body.
