    College students are hospitalized with repeated fever and rashes, scaring away patients in the ward

    Xiao Feng (not her real name) is a junior in school who has had a recurrent fever accompanied by a facial rash for more than two months




    The rash is the most common clinical manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus, but in fact the typical facial butterfly-like erythema occurs in less than 10% of lupus patients



    In addition to skin lesions, patients with systemic lupus erythematosus can also present with fever, joint swelling and pain, fatigue, mucosal ulcers of the mouth and nose, and other organ system damage

    Will a lupus mom pass on the disease to her baby?
