- Abstract
This article reports that mucosal involvement in lupus erythematosus (LE) is poorly documented and the immunopathology of conjunctiva in LE has not previously been reported. The prevalence of clinical and immunopathological mucosal involvement has been studied in 38 patients with systemic LE (SLE) and 42 patients with discoid LE (DLE). Clinical mucosal involvement was a feature in 45% SLE patients and 48% DLE patients. Intermittent mouth ulcers were a feature in one-third of both SLE and DLE patients.
