Lupus, or Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), is a complex autoimmune disease where the immune system attacks healthy tissues throughout the body. It can affect multiple organs including skin, joints, kidneys, brain, and blood vessels. Common symptoms include fatigue, joint pain, skin rashes (particularly the butterfly rash), and fever. The condition often follows a pattern of flares and remissions.
