AB  - Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus (SCLE) is recognized as a variant of 
      Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and affects mainly middle-aged Caucasian 
      women. The clinical picture is characterized by typical skin lesions, joint or 
      muscle pain and occasionally arthritis. Serious systemic manifestations such as 
      affection of the central nervous system and kidneys are rarely observed. Most 
      SCLE patients are strongly photosensitive, which is associated with the presence 
      of anti-SSA and/or anti-SSB antibodies. The disease can mimic both Sjogren's 
      syndrome and SLE. The course is characterized by exacerbations and remissions. 
      SCLE sometimes occurs concomitantly with other diseases of both a rheumatological 
      or non-rheumatological nature, and it has also been discussed whether SCLE might 
      be an example of a paraneoplastic syndrome. Treatment with hydroxychloroquine is 
      usually effective. Five patients with SCLE are described.
