SLE or systemic lupus erythematosus. If we look at each of the three words, we can remember what this disorder refers to - ‘systemic’ tells us it affects multiple organs, ‘lupus’ is Latin for ‘wolf’, and ‘erythematosus’ refers to reddening of the skin, and was so named after the characteristic red butterfly rash over the nose and cheeks that resembles a wolf’s snout. ….. SLE is an autoimmune chronic inflammatory connective tissue disorder that affects multiple body systems and occurs predominantly in young women. It primarily affects the skin, joints, and kidneys, but every organ of the body can be affected.
