Systemic lupus erythromatosis (SLE)

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks its own tissues and organs, causing inflammation, pain, and damage to the skin, joints, kidneys, and other vital organs. In Sub-Saharan Africa, SLE is increasingly recognized among young women and can be triggered by genetic, hormonal, and environmental factors. Early diagnosis, proper medical management, and lifestyle adjustments can help control symptoms and improve quality of life.
