Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE or lupus) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissues, causing inflammation and damage to areas like the skin, joints, kidneys, and other organs. It’s a complex, unpredictable condition marked by flare-ups and periods of remission. Symptoms vary widely but often include fatigue, joint pain, rashes, fever, mouth ulcers, hair loss, and organ involvement.
