TI  - Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus: a cutaneous marker for a distinct lupus 
      erythematosus subset.
PG  - 1409-15
AB  - We have characterized the clinical and laboratory features of 27 patients who had 
      in common a recurring, superficial, nonscarring type of cutaneous lupus 
      erythematosus (LE) that occurred in a characteristic distribution (subacute 
      cutaneous lupus erythematosus [SCLE]). This clinically distinct form of cutaneous 
      LE has not previously been analyzed as a separate entity and thus, its clinical 
      importance has not been fully appreciated. We found that these patients 
      frequently had a mild systemic illness marked by musculoskeletal complaints and 
      serologic abnormalities. Forty-eight percent had systemic LE by American 
      Rheumatism Association criteria; however, none had serious CNS or renal disease. 
      Thus, those with SCLE are a subset of patients with LE who generally have an 
      illness intermediate in severity between discoid LE and severe systemic LE.
