Generally speaking, adults with SLE recover faster than children, which is related to the timely treatment of the disease. SLE is a chronic diffuse connective tissue disease of unknown etiology that affects all systems of the body and occurs more frequently in women of childbearing age. SLE is an autoimmune disease that cannot be cured, but it can be alleviated through early diagnosis and aggressive medication. Lupus erythematosus in children is usually more rapid in onset, the rash appears later and is more atypical than in adults, and organ damage is more frequent and severe. As a result, childhood lupus erythematosus is usually detected at a later stage than adult SLE, and the disease causes more damage to the organs, resulting in a slower recovery. In conclusion, the principle of treatment for SLE is early diagnosis and aggressive treatment, which has the potential for long-term survival. Therefore, once the diagnosis is clear, patients should go to the rheumatology and immunology department of local hospitals and follow the doctor’s instructions for standardized treatment.
