Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), is a complex chronic inflammatory autoimmune disease, with rheumatological manifestations, which afflicts mainly women. SLE presents various heterogeneous clinical aspects and different pathogeneses and involves the production of anti- DNA autoantibodies which are deposited as immune complexes in various organs and tissues, provoking inflammation. These diseases cause multiple tissue and organ damage in arthritis, skin lesions, hematologic changes, renal and neurologic disorders, and others (Table I). In SLE, serum contains anti-nucleus antibodies and anti-DNA antibodies that can be important biomarkers for patients suffering from this disease.
