“…Previous epidemiologic studies have shown that patients with LE have an increased risk of comorbidity. [14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21] In our study, we found an increased risk of Sj€ ogren syndrome, as well as endocrine and respiratory diseases in SLE patients, regardless the CLE subtypes. An association among cardiovascular and gastrointestinal diseases and age was shown; accordingly, patients with vs. those without such diseases were older.…”

“…Other autoimmune associations observed in this study were systemic sclerosis, thyroid dysfunction (in the form of thyroiditis, hypothyroidism, hyperthyroidism and goiter) and vitiligo that have been reported in literature. 20 DLE with PLE, vitiligo and primary localized cutaneous amyloidosis in lupus erythematosus have been previously reported in literature.

Background: Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the commonest form of cutaneous lupus erythematosus.The objective of our study is to analyze the clinical and epidemiological aspects of DLE.Methods: All clinically diagnosed cases of DLE attending the dermatology OPD from October 2010 to September 2012were included in the study. A detailed history, complete physical examination, biopsy for confirmation and other relevant investigations were done in all cases.Results: The incidence was 4.79 per 10000 cases (51 of 106368 dermatology patients) showing female to male ratio of 4.1:1. Localized type was more common than the disseminated type. Few lesions (less than five) in a localized area without head and neck involvement were also classified as localized type in this study. Mucosal, verrucous, tumid and lupus panniculitis were the variants of DLE encountered. The sites involved were face, scalp, trunk, upper and lower limb in descending order of frequency. Antinuclear antibody (ANA) was positive in 22 of 30 cases done (73%). The systemic involvement was seen in 15 patients all of whom were diagnosed as systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Squamous cell carcinoma was seen in 2 cases of disseminated DLE.Conclusions: Majority of patients had disease onset at 3rd to 5th decade showing female predominance. When compared to localized type, disseminated type was found more frequently in males. Early onset and severe disease was noted among offspring born to a patient suffering from disseminated DLE. Serious morbidity like lupus nephritis was observed only in 1 case. The occurrence of DLE over the herpes zoster scar was an interesting observation.

“…It is well known that the combination of autoimmune thyroiditis with other autoimmune diseases (9) such as SLE, RA, and pernicious anemia is common. Meer-Roosen et al (10) demonstrated a case of the cutaneous LE and autoimmune thyroiditis. Callen et al (11) reported a case of Hashimoto's thyroiditis (HT) and bullous pemphigoid (BP); and they suggested an association of autoimmune pathogenesis between HT and BP.…”
