Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease characterized by autoantibody production and immune complex deposition that may lead to organ damage if left untreated. In this chapter we review the epidemiology, pathology, clinical manifestations, treatment options, as well as special considerations in the management of patients with SLE.
