- Bullous systemic lupus erythematosus (BSLE) is a rare type of blistering skin condition linked to systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) that can appear suddenly, sometimes as the first sign of SLE.

- A case study details a 71-year-old woman with SLE who had severe skin symptoms that improved quickly with a combination of intravenous immunoglobulin (IVIg) and mycophenolate mofetil (MMF) after standard steroids failed to help.
