COURSE OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS DEPENDING ON CLIMATE AND GEOGRAPHICAL CHARACTERISTICS

Аннотация

Explicit clinical symptoms of heart failure in systemic lupus erythematosus are found in 51.4% of patients. Lung damage in SLE is often indicated as an infectious complication due to immunosuppressive therapy, especially long-term treatment with large doses of corticosteroids, rather than as a result of the severe course of the disease itself. Frequent symptoms of damage to the nervous system were sleep disturbances, which manifested itself in the form of lengthening the time of falling asleep, reducing the depth and duration of night sleep, rapid awakening and daytime sleepiness. Uncontrolled activity of the lupus process caused the appearance of severe manifestations, such as pneumonitis, pleurisy and pericarditis (serosites and polyserosites) and vasculitis.
