Recently, she went to her physician because she noticed that an erythematous, butterfly-shaped rash had appeared on her face. Further lab tests indicated protein in her urine. Her blood test indicated the presence of numerous antinuclear antibodies, especially anti-DNA, and mature neutrophils containing nuclear material. A diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was made. Discussion Questions 1. Discuss possible reasons why SLE was not diagnosed earlier 2.Discuss how the presence of antibodies can cause such widespread damage in organ systems. 3. Discuss possible manifestations of SLE 4. Discuss treatments for SLE and a prognosis for the patient in this case.

CASE STUDY Ruth, a 25 year office worker, decided to visit the doctor’s office after noticing changes in her body. She complained of severe nausea, vomiting, stomach pains and loss in appetite. But her biggest worries are her frequent skin itching, bloated belly and apparent yellowish pallor. After physically examining Ruth, the doctor ordered several laboratory tests. These include CBC, Coagulation studies, blood chemistry and Serologic tests. The results showed Prolonged Prothrombin time, increased INR, decreased blood proteins such as albumin, elevated liver enzymes and bilirubin levels. Her serology was reactive for the Hepatitis B surface antigen, positive for Total anti-HBc but negative for the anti-HBe and anti-HBs Answer the following questions, using the medical information of Ruth. 1. What do you think is the health issue of Ruth? Provide medical evidence.
