Overview

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) must be differentiated from other diseases that cause skin rash, arthritis, positive autoimmune serology, weight lossfevers and chronic pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), systemic sclerosis (SSc), dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), and other autoimmune diseases.

Differentiating systemic lupus erythematosus from other diseases

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) must be differentiated from other diseases that cause skin rash, arthritis, positive autoimmune serology, weight lossfevers and chronic pain, such as rheumatoid arthritis (RA), mixed connective tissue disease (MCTD), systemic sclerosis (SSc), dermatomyositis (DM), polymyositis (PM), and other autoimmune diseases.

Differentiating SLE from other diseases that may cause arthritis and rash

Abbreviations: ANA: Antinuclear antibody, RF: Rheumatoid factor, Anti-CCp: Anti-cyclic citrullinated protein antibody, Anti U1RNP: Anti-U1 ribonucleoprotein antibodies, Anti Sm: Anti-Sm antibodies, Anti Ro: Anti Ro antibody also called anti-Sjögren's-syndrome-related antigen A antibody, Anti-dsDNA: Anti-double stranded DNA.
