Description
Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic
inflammatory disease which can affect blood vessels, kidneys, the skin and
nervous system.
The cause of SLE is not known: viral infection and immune reactions
have been suggested. Lupus-like symptoms may also be caused by
adverse reactions to medicines and chemicals. More women than men
suffer from SLE. |
