systemic lupus may affects the brain

Sometimes, symptoms of lupus can be precipitated or aggravated by only a brief period of sun exposure. Neonatal lupus is the occurrence of systemic lupus erythematosus symptoms in an infant born from a mother with SLE, most commonly presenting with a rash resembling discoid lupus erythematosus, and sometimes with systemic abnormalities such as heart block or hepatosplenomegaly.
People with lupus often experience persistent fatigue that’s different from normal tiredness and that isn’t necessarily relieved by rest. Diagnosing and managing SLE in the emergency department can be very challenging if it is not considered in one’s differential diagnosis. At the onset of lupus, the symptoms are commonly very general, sometimes making diagnosis of the disease difficult. In some patients, lupus affects the brain or central nervous system.
