DLE Criteria: Studies show that up to 28 percent of people with DLE develop Systemic Lupus Erythematosus. If a person has SLE also the American College of Rheumatology and SLIIC criteria can be used to help determine the presence of disease. Studies have tried to validate the SLIIC criteria for DLE alone but DLE sometimes exists in a pathologically singular form. http://tinyurl.com/j6lvnv4
