Author(s): Emma Scott*

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic autoimmune disease characterized by multisystem involvement, including the skin, joints, kidneys, and cardiovascular system. The management of SLE remains a challenge due to its heterogeneous nature and the variability of disease severity. This article reviews current treatment strategies for SLE, including glucocorticoids, immunosuppressive agents, and newer biologic therapies, and discusses emerging treatment options and the need for personalized management.
