title: [Neuromuscular symptoms and findings in systemic lupus erythematosus].
abstract: Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) gives rise to a variety of autoimmune and clinical phenomena in a multisystem manner. Both the central and peripheral nervous systems are involved as well as skeletal muscle. Based on our work with SLE patients, we describe the different categories of peripheral neuropathy and myopathy. We suggest that the disease be considered as a possible diagnosis, especially when evaluating women with symptoms and signs of neuromuscular abnormalities.
