Although belimumab has been widely used in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) globally, real-world safety data among Chinese patients are limited, particularly for children. This study assessed the safety and tolerability of belimumab in adult and paediatric patients with SLE in China in real-world clinical practice.

This multicenter longitudinal study investigated the prevalence of gastrointestinal (GI) manifestations in lupus patients and determined the risk factors associated with mortality.

Heterogeneity of the clinical manifestations of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may lead to diagnostic delays. This study is aimed at determining the health-seeking behaviour patterns and factors associated with diagnostic delays in a multi-ethnic SLE cohort in Malaysia.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disorder characterized by a malfunction of the body's immune defense system.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multi-systemic autoimmune disease that mainly affects young females. SLE's chronicity and high level of complications yield frequent clinic visitations & hospital admissions, increasing the necessity to investigate the healthcare system and improve patient satisfaction and quality of life.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) can be diagnosed using the 2012 criteria of the Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics (SLICC) and, more recently, the 2019 criteria of the European League Against Rheumatism/American College of Rheumatology (EULAR/ACR). Hematological involvement is scored differently by these classifications. Our objective was to compare both criteria in a cohort of children with autoimmune cytopenia (AIC)-associated SLE.

Laboratory-based biomarkers accurately presenting systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) disease activity may have a practical value in clinical routine. As shown in many other conditions, complete blood count (CBC)-derived biomarkers may also play a role in SLE.

to investigate the trend of autoantibody titers during a 2-year follow-up in pediatric systemic lupus erythematosus (pSLE) and pediatric Sjögren's syndrome (pSS).

Lupus nephritis (LN) is the most serious complication of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), and plasma exosomes may serve as a bridge. MicroRNAs (miRNAs) are abundant in exosomes, so this study aimed to explore the role of exosome-derived miRNA in the development of LN.

As suggested by the EULAR recommendations, a comprehensive management of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) should include the evaluation of disease activity, chronic damage, and quality of life (QoL). QoL is significantly impaired in SLE patients, even in those achieving a state of remission, suggesting the possible contribution of other factors. Thus, in the present study we aimed at analyzing QoL in a large SLE cohort by using LupusQoL, and at identifying the main determinant of poorer QoL.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease predominantly affecting women. Despite advances in treatment, recent developments in single-cell RNA sequencing (scRNA-seq) and Mendelian randomization (MR) continue to facilitate the need for precision medicine.

Lupus anticoagulant hypoprothrombinemia syndrome (LAHPS) is a rare autoimmune condition characterized by acquired prothrombin (FII) deficiency associated with antiphospholipid syndrome (APS) and life-threatening bleeding. We present the case of a 34-year-old woman with heavy menstrual bleeding (HMB), positive Lupus anticoagulant (LA) test, and high titer anticardiolipin antibodies Immunoglobulin G (ACA IgG) and anti-β2 glycoprotein I antibodies IgG (antiB2GPI IgG). Severe iron deficiency anemia necessitated recurrent blood transfusions and intravenous iron infusions from 2018 to 2021.

With the increasing prevalence of digital devices and internet access, digital resources have become essential for educating patients with chronic diseases. We explored the patient perspective on health-related internet searches among Korean patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE).

To determine if there is a clinicodemographic or serological profile associated with MRI-confirmed inflammatory musculoskeletal abnormalities in SLE patients. To investigate the relationship between these alterations and HRQoL.

Antinuclear antibodies (ANA) staining patterns can provide useful information in systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In our study, we examined the frequency of ANA staining patterns in disease-related features in childhood-onset SLE patients.

To determine the number of patients that met classification for antiphospholipid antibody syndrome (APS) after applying the 2023 American College of Rheumatology and the European Alliance for Associations of Rheumatology (ACR/EULAR) classification criteria, to identify reasons patients did not meet the new criteria, and determine the number of patients who were single, double, or triple positive based on laboratory criteria.

To evaluate the possible reversibility of PAH to a normopressoric state in SLE after induction immunosuppressive (IS) and predictors of response.

To assess the relationship between smoking exposure and organ damage accrual measured by Systemic Lupus International Collaborating Clinics/American College of Rheumatology Damage Index for Systemic Lupus Erythematosus score (SLICC-SDI) in consecutive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) from Argentina.

Our study investigates the associations between pain distribution, biopsychosocial factors, and Patient-Reported Outcomes Measurement Information System (PROMIS) measures in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Employing self-reported pain body maps, we aim to characterize the distribution of pain and its impact on biopsychosocial measures.

Spondyloenchondrodysplasia is classified as an interferonopathy resulting from recessive mutations in the gene and manifests with various clinical features, including distinctive skeletal dysplasia, neurological abnormalities, immune dysfunction resembling systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Sjogren's syndrome. While SLE is typically considered multifactorial and more prevalent in adulthood, a subset of approximately 10%-25% of childhood cases arise from monogenic form. Among these, spondyloenchondrodysplasia accounts for only a rare fraction of monogenic lupus cases, with only 22 reported instances in the literature.
