Area of Science:

  • Neuroscience
  • Rheumatology
  • Psychiatry

Background:

  • Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) commonly involves the central nervous system.
  • Neurological manifestations in SLE are diverse and arise from various pathogenic mechanisms.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review the clinical spectrum and pathogenic mechanisms of central nervous system involvement in SLE.
  • To highlight the diagnostic challenges and the importance of multidisciplinary management.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of studies on neuropsychiatric lupus.
  • Analysis of clinical presentations, diagnostic criteria, and treatment strategies.

Main Results:

  • Psychiatric and psychological disturbances, with or without organic components, are the most frequent manifestations.

  • Metabolic issues, drug toxicity, and infections can mimic immune-mediated brain dysfunction in SLE patients.
  • Lack of specific biomarkers for CNS lupus complicates diagnosis.

    • Conclusions:

    • Central nervous system involvement is a significant challenge in managing SLE.
    • Integrated care involving rheumatologists, neurologists, and psychiatrists is crucial for optimal patient outcomes.
