Explanation

"Stigmata of SLE" refers to the visible signs or symptoms that a person might have Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), a chronic autoimmune disease. These signs can include a butterfly-shaped rash on the face, skin lesions that appear or worsen with sun exposure, or swollen and painful joints. Other symptoms might be less visible, such as fatigue, fever, or kidney problems. These signs are not definitive proof of the disease, but they can lead a doctor to suspect SLE and conduct further tests.
