“ The Very Appearance of SLE might be
DECEIVING!NO TWO LUPUS PATIENTS HAVE EXACTLY THE SAME MANIFESTATIONS AND ONE PERSON DOES NOT USUALLY HAVE ALL THE SYMPTOMS.
. So a VERY HIGH INDEX OF CLINICAL SUSPICION should be there during
diagnosis of SLE
SLE might present as“Catch Me if U Can!”
Movie: Catch Me If u Can
Actor: Leonardo de Caprio
Main Role: Con Artist
Substitue Role: Lawyer,Doctor , Pilot, Detective
Epidemiology
In Asia: Prevalence rates 30—50/100,000 population. Incidence rates 0.9/100,000 to 3.1% per annum. In U.S.A: Incidence: 5 cases per 100,000 population. Race, sex and age-related demographics:
The prevalence of SLE is highest in women aged 14 to 64 years. Black women have a higher rate of SLE followed by Asian women and then White women.
.
Clinical presentation among the SLE patients can be Diverse, Highly variable !
Ranging from
INDOLENT to
FULMINANT

A prospective study was done from January 2002 to December 2006 in Mymensingh Medical College and Hospital.
Number of SLE patients : 33 Objective: To observe the clinical
profile and outcome of the patients
Classical TRIAD of SLE
FEVER
JOINT PAIN
RASH
Constitutional
Fatigue, the most common constitutional symptom associated with SLE.
Can be due to active SLE, medications, lifestyle habits, or concomitant fibromyalgia or affective disorders.
Fever may reflect active SLE, infection, and reactions to medications (drug fever)
Musculoskeletal
Joint pain is the most common clinical presentation.
In contrast to Rheumatoid Arthritis SLE arthritis may be Asymmetrical
Pain is disproportionate to swelling.
Increased Prevalence of Avascular necrosis in the patients with SLE.

4 yr later she develop AVN

SYSTEMIC SCLEROSIS
Central Nervous System
Patients with SLE can have several Neuropsychiatric symptoms represent a subcategory termed NPSLE
According to 10 high quality prospective studies including 2049 SLE patients the prevalence of NPSLE manifestations among them was 56%, were CNS manifestations were 90%.

Pulmonary
SLE may lead to multiple pulmonary complications such as pleurisy, pleural effusion, DPLD, pneumonitis, pulmonary hypertension.
Hemoptysis may herald diffuse alveolar hemorrhage, a rare, acute,life-threatening pulmonary complication of SLE.

Mrs. X, presented with - fever for 1 month -cough for 1 month.
Clinically she had features of consolidation.She had non resolving pneumonia for 3 month. All other relevant investigations were normal apart from neutropenia and then her ANA and Anti Ds DNA revealed high titre subsequently she was diagnosed as a case of SLE.

Subsequently it was diagnosed as case of SLE on histopathology which showed liquefactive degeneration of basal layer of epidermis.
6 month later he was diagnosed as acase of DPLD with SLE
• Patient presented with ulcer in hand for one month.

After treating with antibiotic no remission of fever.subsequently she develop lymphadenopathy involving ant and post cervical chain,left supra clavicle and both inguinal region.
.
FNAC of lymphnode:Focal aggregation of epitheloid cells. Features suggestive of granulomatous inflammation.
Biopsy of Lymph node:Acute necrotizing lymphadenopathy (Kikuchi’s disease)
.
DIAGNOSIS ?
• Several authors reported association between SLE and Kikuchi disease
• Kikuchi disease has been diagnosed before,during, and after diagnosis of SLE was made in same patients.
• Histological appearance of lymphnodes of both disease are similar.
• Kikuchi disease may represent a forme fruste SLE.
Further investigations:ANA: Strongly positive Speckled varietyAnti Ds DNA: positive
Gastrointestinal
Occasional abdominal pain in active SLE may be directly related to active lupus
-including peritonitis, pancreatitis, mesenteric vasculitis,and bowel infarction.
Jaundice due to autoimmune hepatobilliary disease

icteric• Shifting dullness
+ve• Splenomegaly
USG shows hepatic vein thrombosis, with arrow pointing to the thrombus
Diagnosis
Budd Chiari Syndrome Resulting From Hyper Viscosity Caused By Anti Phospholipid Syndrome Secondary To SLE

Antibody: Positive• Anti ds DNA: Positive
Further investigations
SLE during Pregnancy
Fertility When and how to time
pregnancy Obstetric issues -Pre eclampsia -Lupus nephritis -Thrombosis
• Prevalence of Pre eclampsia is 13% in SLE Vs 6-8% in normal condition.
• Risk factor include -pre-existing hypertension, -nephritis and -presence of antiphospholipid antibodies (APL)
Differences between, Pre-eclampsia and Renal flare in a
patient with SLE
SLE in CHILDREN:Malar rash, ulcers, mucocutaneous involvement, proteinuria,urinary cast, seizures, haemolytic anemia, thrombocytopenia, fever and lymphadenopathy are more commonly in childhood onset SLE
A female patient presented with -respiratory distress for one month -palpitation for same duration
O/E: Irregularly irregular pulse lungs: basal crepitationECG: AF with first ventricular rateT3: Raised ; T4: raised; CRP: Raised Diagnosed as a case
of Autoiimune thyroidits with myocarditis
Association with other Autoimmune disease?
After 3 month further investigations revealed:ANA: PositiveAnti Ds DNA: Positive
Take Home Message
Even in difficult situation to diagnose SLE, most
physicians need high index of suspicion, special intuition, obsession to finally bring a
differential diagnosis in appropiate clinical scenario in every discipline. So no matter
whatever might be the faces or presentation SLE should be
Red handed
No matter how steep the journey is, destiny is not beyond your reach…
“Yes! We can and We will
….”
