The most common causes of drug-induced SLE are
hydralazine & isoniazid
over 80 drugs have been identified as causes of drug-induced systemic lupus
Systemic lupus erythematosus is an
autoimmune disease that affects nearly every organ system
Most of the consequences of SLE are due to
anti-body induced vasculitis and tissue destruction
The most common problems of SLE are
polyarthritis & dermatitis (only 33-50% of these patients develop the classic butterfly rash)
The following 4 things can exacerbate SLE symptoms
stress
pregnancy
infection
surgery
drugs
Medical treatments for SLE include
corticosteroids, NSAIDs, immunosuppressants, and antimalarials
Cricoarytenoid arthritis can present as
hoarseness, stridor, and airway obstruction
Patients with SLE may develop ______________ leading to a risk of _______ & ___________
antiphospholipid antibodies; hypercoagulability and thrombosis
Antimalarials that are used to treat SLE include
hyroxychloroquine & quinacrine
Immunosuppressants that may be used to treat SLE include
cyclophosphamide, azathioprine, methotrexate, and mycophenolate mofetil
______________ (a drug used to treat SLE) inhibits plasma cholinesterase and increases the duration of succinylcholine
Cyclophosphamide
