SLE affects millions globally. Lack of awareness leads to delayed diagnoses, suboptimal management, and diminished quality of life. After analyzing 160 patients with SLE, their clinical, socioeconomic, and therapeutic characteristics are largely like other cohorts, with differences attributable to ethnic and geographical influences. Informing patients about SLE and providing reliable resources are essential for self-care. Awareness promotes research, therapies, and enhances medical care and the lives of patients globally.
