AB  - OBJECTIVE: We sought to compare the prevalence of systemic disease in subacute 
      cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). 
      METHODS: Clinical and laboratory features of 14 patients with SCLE were compared 
      with 22 age and sex matched controls with SLE. RESULTS: Manifestations other than 
      arthritis and skin disease were present in 11/14 (79%) SCLE cases compared with 
      19/22 (82%) SLE cases. Severe systemic disease occurred in one-half of patients 
      with SCLE (5/7 men, 1/7 women), and most had the papulosquamous pattern. 
      CONCLUSION: Systemic manifestations may be as varied in SCLE as in SLE, and 
      severe disease is not unusual. In particular, men with papulosquamous SCLE may be 
      at higher risk for severe extracutaneous disease.
