In sjogrens syndrome, sle and subacute cutaneous lupus, is the underlying problem the same?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: The three conditions all share a common underlying mechanism, that of autoimmune inflammation. Each condition manifests this mechanism in a specific organ or gland, namely the salivary gland, skin, kidneys, etc.
