Later in the month, LUPUS EUROPE, along with Lupus Italy, will be present on stand V20 in the EULAR village at EULAR in Rome from 10th-13th June.
🎧 Our #EMEUNET podcast is back in a new format!

It may be true that anti-dsDNA titres can fluctuate with disease activity in #SLE, particularly in #lupus #nephritis. Bear in mind:
-Flares can occur without an increase in anti-dsDNA
-High anti-dsDNA does not necessarily mean flare
-Always check C3 & C4 levels

Questions during @SLEuroSociety advanced workshop on #lupus:
What is your clinical impression on anti-dsDNA levels before #SLE flares?

🚨 Call for patients🚨
🔊 INSPIRE SURVEY from the University of Cambridge.
This survey aims to improve the understanding of neurological symptoms in SLE and other rheumatic conditions.
Lupus is a very heterogeneous disease, which means that it affects people of different ethnic backgrounds and gender in different ways.
That is why, to get accurate research results, as many different groups as possible must be represented in the sample.
The INSPIRE survey was launched last year to get the patient experience on the assessment/monitoring of neurological symptoms, but they received very few responses from people from ethnic minorities.
That is why the research team led by Dr Chris Wincup has launched a new survey.
The new INSPIRE survey can be completed by lupus patients or their carers from around the world.
🟣 Please share as much as possible 🟣 in order to get a sample that includes a good proportion of all ethnic groups.
Thank you!

I did it a second time and no it went good till the end
The survey was demolished.
Discoid lupus erythematosus (DLE) is the most common form of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus. It is characterised by persistent scaly plaques on the scalp, face, and ears, which can progress to scarring, atrophy, depigmentation, and permanent hair loss in affected hair-bearing areas (Source: DermNet).
This study, published by Prof Marca Mosca et al., describes 2 cases of severe and refractory DLE successfully treated with anifrolumab, a human monoclonal antibody.
Although anifrolumab has been recently approved for the treatment of SLE, data from randomized clinical trials have shown a significant difference in cutaneous response rate in patients treated with anifrolumab from those in the placebo group.
While the effectiveness of this treatment in real life and in different types of skin lesions has yet to be determined, it could represent a new valid opportunity for treating DLE.
