| Criteria for the diagnosis of SLE | |
|---|---|
| Clinical features | Characteristics |
| 1)Malar rash | Fixed erythema, flat or raised, sparing the nasolabial folds |
| 2)Discoid rash | Erythematous raised patches with adherent keratotic scarring and follicular plugging. |
| 3)Photosensitivity | Rash due to unusual reaction to sunlight. |
| 4)Oral ulcer | Oral or nasopharyngeal ulcers, which may be painless. |
| 5)Arthritis | Non-erosive arthritis, involving >2 peripheral joints. |
| 6)Serositis | Pleuritis or pericarditis |
| 7)Renal disorder | Persistent proteinura ( >0.5g/24hrs) or cellular casts (red cell, granular or tubular). |
| 8)Neurological disorder | Seizure or psychosis, in the absence of provoking drugs or metabolic derangement. |
| 9)Hematological disorder | Haemolytic anemia or leucopenia (<4 x109) or lymphopenia (<1x109) or thrombocytopenia (<100x109) in the absence of offending drugs. |
| 10)Immunological | Abnormal titre of Anti-DNA antibodies or presence of Sm antigen or positive antiphospholipid antibodies. |
| 11)Anti-nuclear Antibody (ANA) | Abnormal ANA titre measured by immunofluorescence |
| Diagnosis of SLE is made in an adult if 4 out of 11 features are present either serially or simultaneously. | |
