A clinical and epidemiological study of lupus erythematosus at a tertiary referral dermatology clinic in Korea

Abstract: Dermatological examination is critical for the evaluation of lupus erythematosus. However, little is known about the epidemiology and clinical characteristics of the lupus erythematosus patients that visit dermatology clinics with the chief complaint of skin lesions, especially among Asian populations. We performed this study to determine the epidemiology of cutaneous lupus erythematosus for three subtypes: acute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus, and chronic cutaneous lupus… Show more

“…DLE has a relatively characteristic clinical-pathological description and has been recognized in individuals of all races 1215 . Although DLE is less likely associated with SLE 2 than other CLE subtypes, only a few population-based studies have estimated the incidence of DLE in absence of SLE (or “primary” DLE) 4, 1517 .…”

“…As SLE is a serious disease with potentially severe outcomes, it is important to understand how SLE presents and is managed across different geographical regions and settings. There are several recent studies describing SLE epidemiology, clinical features and healthcare use in different populations: Asians, 7 Europeans, 2 8 Americans 9 and African Caribbean. 10 A large retrospective study evaluating patients’ characteristics, disease activity and severity, flare assessments and health resource use was conducted in five European countries recently.…”

The difficulty of recognition of this characteristic sign could account for its underestimation observed in the studies conducted in black African [18].…”
