Abstract
Systemic lupus erythematous (SLE) and rheumatoid arthritis (RA) are both autoimmune
diseases. In fact, the two diseases are sometimes confused because they share many
symptoms. The most obvious similarity between RA and SLE is joint pain
Description

characterized by a vast array of autoantibodies, particularly antinuclear antibodies
(ANAs), in which injury is caused mainly by deposition of immune complexes and
binding of antibodies to various cells and tissues.
