Lupus erythematosus
Lupus erythematosus (also known as systemic lupus erythematosus or SLE) is an autoimmune disorder in which antibodies are created against the patient's own DNA. It is named for the Latin lupus, meaning "wolf," due to the butterfly-shaped rash that the disease classically creates on the cheek which medieval people believed to resemble a wolf bite.
