Skin lesions - an indicator of disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus?

Abstract: Cutaneous manifestations have great diagnostic value for systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In this study we tried to establish a correlation between lupus erythematosus LE-specific and LE-nonspecific cutaneous lesions and disease activity measured by the Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Disease Activity Index (SLEDAI). Sixty-six patients with SLE were evaluated. They were divided into three groups having: (1) only LE-specific lesions (38 or 58.46%); (2) only LE-nonspecific lesions (4 or 6.15%); and (3) both type… Show more

“…2 Em cerca de um quarto dos pacientes a manifestação de pele está presente ao diagnóstico, sendo a segunda mais freqüente, só superada pelas manifestações articulares. 3 Sua importância fica bastante explícita ao se observar que quatro dos 11 critérios da classificação para essa doença proposta pelo Colégio Americano de Reumatologia são dermatológicos: fotossensibilidade, eritema malar, úlceras orais e lesões discóides. 1 Em certos casos, a lesão cutânea oferece, também, ajuda no prognóstico e na previsão de envolvimento de determinados órgãos internos.…”

Nas lesões inespecíficas incluem-se alopecia, vasculite, livedo reticular, lesões urticariformes, entre outras.…”
