45 years) are the most affected.
Aim of the study. Purpose: To represent the particularities of the systemic disorder in SLE. •

people in the hospital with systemic lupus erythematosus was 51.27 ± 12.43 years. The average
diagnostic age of SLE was 44.18 ± 14.22 years. Articular impairment is found in 98%,
neurological affects 58%, hematological affects 88%, serositis 29%, skin disorders 89%,
kidney damage 65%, double-stranded DNA antibodies detected at 70%.

autoimmune disease frequently encountered. The incidence is higher for women. The average
age of the patients interned with SLE - 51.27 and those diagnosed - 44.18 years. From a
