Article Synopsis
- Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can cause various symptoms, including serositis, which affects 9.42% of patients, with a notably higher prevalence in men (30%) compared to women (7.9%).
- A retrospective study reviewed the medical records of 297 SLE patients, finding that serositis was often the first symptom in 40.7% of cases, and linked to specific antibodies (anti-dsDNA) and treatment with higher doses of corticosteroids and mycophenolic acid.
- Male gender and the presence of anti-dsDNA antibodies were identified as risk factors for developing serositis, highlighting the need for increased awareness
