Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), It is a chronic autoimmune disease that can cause swelling (inflammation) and pain throughout your body. What are the different types of lupus? There are several different types of lupus. Systemic lupus erythematosus is the most common. Other types of lupus include: • Cutaneous lupus erythematous: This type of lupus affects the skin — cutaneous is a term meaning skin. Individuals with cutaneous lupus erythematous may experience skin issues like sensitivity to the sun and rashes. Hair loss can also be a symptom of this condition. • Drug-induced lupus: These cases of lupus are caused by certain medications. People with drug-induced lupus may have many of the same symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus, but it’s usually temporary. Often, this type of lupus goes away once you stop the medication that’s causing it. • Neonatal lupus: A rare type of lupus, neonatal lupus is a condition found in infants at birth. Children born with neonatal lupus have antibodies that were passed to them from their mother — who either had lupus at the time of the pregnancy or may have the condition later in life. Not every baby born to a mother with lupus will have the disease.
