A study of clinical manifestations and associated factors in photosensitive patients with systemic lupus erythematosus
PSN is more common in female and young-to-middle-aged SLE patients. It correlates with distinct clinical (rash, alopecia, arthritis, Raynaud syndrome) and immunological (anti-Sm/SSA/SSB antibodies, decreased C3/C4, RF positivity) features. Routine screening of these markers in PSN patients may facilitate early SLE diagnosis.
