Patient's question:
A colleague of mine near me recently got systemic lupus erythematosus. This disease is very serious. How should it be treated?Doctor's answer:
According to the situation you described, systemic lupus erythematosus is a relatively difficult-to-relieve disease. The cause of its onset is considered to be vasculitis leading to multiple inflammatory episodes in various systems of the body. In children with this condition, facial manifestations may include butterfly-shaped erythema and discoid erythema, along with the recurrence of cardiac inflammation, lupus encephalitis, and lupus nephritis. It requires the active use of corticosteroid drugs for treatment and close observation.
