SLE stands for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus, which is an autoimmune disease that affects different systems of the body, including the skin, joints, and organs such as the kidneys, heart, and lungs. In SLE, the immune system mistakenly attacks the healthy tissues of the body, causing inflammation, damage, and pain. Symptoms of SLE can vary widely and may include joint pain and swelling, rashes, fatigue, fever, and sensitivity to sunlight. Treatment for SLE may include medications to reduce inflammation and manage symptoms, as well as lifestyle changes such as reducing stress and protecting the skin from sun exposure. It is important for individuals with SLE to work closely with their healthcare provider to manage their condition and prevent complications.
