| SLE is a complex disorder resulting from the production of antibodies that attack the DNA and proteins within healthy cells and the generation of circulating immune complexes. The complications from this involve multiple organs and are potentially life-threatening. The symptoms are often vague, can be mild or severe and are often unrelated to lab tests. Among children, SLE occurs three times more commonly in females than in males. In the 60% of SLE patients who experience onset between puberty and the fourth decade of life, the female to male ratio is 9:1. The disorder is three times more common in African American blacks than American Caucasians. SLE is also more common in Asians. To prevent possible infections, patients at high risk of infection often benefit from taking antibiotics before dental treatment or surgical procedures. In general, individuals with lupus should avoid exposure to people with colds or other infections. |
