Objective: To explore factors that affecting the outcome of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) therapy.
Methods: Factors on the results of therapy were analysed through a case-control study.
Results: The common symptoms of SLE were fever, joint pain and skin eruption on face while the common provocation factors of SLE were infection and birth. Through multivariate logistic regression analyses, factors that influencing SLE result of treatment were tachycardia, diastolic pressure step-up, complement C(3) reduction, anti-ds-DNA antibody, SLE relapse and brain syndrome with the OR values as 2.28, 2.34, 2.42, 2.47, 1.98 and 5.56, respectively.
Conclusion: The symptom and clinical characteristics of SLE were complicated. SLE treatment result could be influenced by tachycardia, diastolic pressure step-up, complement C(3) reduction, anti-ds-DNA antibody, SLE relapse and brain syndrome suggesting that the prognosis of SLE patients should be comprehensively considered.

Paediatric Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) constitutes 10 to 20% of cases of SLE with more severe disease and higher mortality. We report a case of an adolescent girl with SLE with multisystem involvement who was started on hydroxychloroquine and oral prednisolone. However, due to persistent worsening of skin lesions and falling cell counts, pulsed dexamethasone was initiated which showed improvement in the skin lesions, cell counts, proteinuria and pleural effusion but there was a persistent fall in the haemoglobin.

Aberrant immune responses to viral pathogens contribute to pathogenesis, but our understanding of pathological immune responses caused by viruses within the human virome, especially at a population scale, remains limited. We analyzed whole-genome sequencing datasets of 6,321 Japanese individuals, including patients with autoimmune diseases (psoriasis vulgaris, rheumatoid arthritis (RA), systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), pulmonary alveolar proteinosis (PAP) or multiple sclerosis) and coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19), or healthy controls. We systematically quantified two constituents of the blood DNA virome, endogenous HHV-6 (eHHV-6) and anellovirus.
