AB  - BACKGROUND: Annular-polycyclic and papulosquamous lesions are associated with 
      subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE). In some Asian cases, annular 
      erythema has been associated with Sjogren's syndrome (SS). However, the relation 
      between the two is unclear. OBJECTIVE: Our purpose was to clarify the clinical 
      manifestations and immunologic features of patients with annular erythema. 
      METHODS: This study included 15 patients with annular erythema. Systemic, 
      serologic, and genetic findings were analyzed. RESULTS: Histologic examination 
      showed perivascular and periappendageal lymphocytic infiltrates in all patients. 
      However, LE-specific epidermal changes were observed in only three (20%). 
      Although all patients at least partially demonstrated features of LE or SS, eight 
      (53%) fulfilled the American Rheumatism Association criteria for systemic LE 
      (SLE) and five (33%) were diagnosed with SS. Renal (20%) and central nervous 
      system (7%) involvement was observed. Anti-Ro(SS-A) and anti-La(SS-B) antibodies 
      were detected in nine (60%) and seven (47%) patients, respectively. There were no 
      histocompatibility antigen (HLA) haplotype differences. CONCLUSION: Annular 
      erythema in Asian patients is the counterpart of subacute skin lesions of LE in 
      whites, except for the paucity of LE-specific histopathologic findings and 
      HLA-DR3 tissue type.
