Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus. Clinical, serologic, and immunogenetic studies of forty-nine patients seen in a nonreferral setting.

Subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus has been clearly recognized as a distinct cutaneous manifestation of lupus erythematosus. Two forms have been described, an annular erythema and a papulosquamous variant. Previous data have suggested that these patients have a high incidence of mild to moderate systemic disease, anti-Ro (SS-A) antibodies, and human lymphocyte antigen (HLA)-DR3, particularly the annular form. We studied forty-nine patients with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus seen in local private practices in our area. Lesions of chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus were seen in 34.8% of our patients. Twenty-five patients (51%) fulfilled the American Rheumatism Association criteria for the classification of systemic lupus erythematosus, and renal disease was present in nine of these patients (including 3 with decreased function). Antibodies to Ro (SS-A) and/or La (SS-B) were present in only sixteen patients, and HLA-DR3 was found in only seventeen patients. Twenty-two patients had inactive cutaneous disease at follow-up. We concluded that our patient population with subacute cutaneous lupus erythematosus skin lesions is less distinctive than previous literature suggests. The serologic and immunogenetic correlates were not demonstrated. The full range of lupus erythematosus-related disease was seen, although most patients follow a benign course.
