El lupus eritematoso sistémico es un trastorno inflamatorio crónico autoinmune que puede afectar muchos sistemas de órganos como la piel, las articulaciones y los órganos internos. La enfermedad puede ser leve o severa y amenazante para la vida. Los afroamericanos y los asiáticos tienen una predisposición marcada a ser afectados por esta condición.
