Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with multiorgan involvement and high mortality, which was reduced because of the most widely and classically used immunosuppressive therapies. However, some patients continue to have significant mortality. So a shift in the approach to the treatment of SLE is needed. In the past decade, most transplants have been performed in the treatment of SLE with allogeneic or autologous hematopoietic stem cells and currently emerging mesenchymal stem cells. There are some important differences between the two procedures.

Hydroxychloroquine (HCQ) and its related drug, chloroquine, have been under use for malaria for the past 75 years. Its use for malaria, rheumatoid arthritis and systemic lupus erythematosus are Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approved. These drugs have immunomodulatory and antiviral actions. More and more indications for this drug are being explored. These drugs are still under study as possible treatments for coronavirus disease 2019 but at present FDA has revoked its emergency use authorization for these two drugs. However, in many other indications, HCQ is a valuable drug but monitoring for adverse effects is mandatory.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory multisystem autoimmune disease. Ascites when associated with pleural effusion and raised CA-125 levels in SLE patient, is known as pseudo-pseudo Meigs’ syndrome (PPMS). This is the case of a 22-year-old lady who presented with complaints of abdominal distension for one month and had a history of spontaneous abortion in the past. Abdominal imaging did not reveal any tumor and after extensive workup a diagnosis of PPMS was made. She was successfully treated with steroids, hydroxychloroquine and cyclophosphamide.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a common autoimmune connective tissue disease with unclear etiology and pathogenesis. Mesenchymal stem cell (MSC) and MSC derived extracellular vesicles (EVs) play important roles in regulating innate and adaptive immunity, which are involved in many physiological and pathological processes and contribute to the immune homeostasis in SLE. The effects of MSCs and EVs on SLE have been drawing more and more attention during the past few years. This article reviews the immunomodulatory effects and underlying mechanisms of MSC/MSC-EVs in SLE, which provides novel insight into understanding SLE pathogenesis and guiding the biological therapy.

Back Ground: Depression is a natural disturbance of feeling that is characterized by feelings of sadness, loss of interest and easily tired. Steroids are drugs that can reduce swelling, pain and heat due to inflammation through reducing the immune response. Steroids are often used in cases of systemic Lupus Erythematosus in the long term. Therefore management of the disease must be done well because steroids can cause depression. Case Report:Women, 37 years old, depressed mood, disappointment in life, loss of enthusiasm, fatigue, decreased appetite and difficulty sleeping for 1 year. 4 years ago I took steroids for 2 years at a dose of 20mg / day, because rheumatoid arthritis was stopped by os, and for the past 1 year, steroid consumption was due to Systemic Lupus Erythematosus around 60 mg / day. . Before the os consumes steroids, the OS has never experienced depression.BP: 110/70 mmHg , HR 88x/menit, RR 20x/menit, Temp 37°C. Skor BDI 21. Laboratorium Hb 11,8 g/dl, Leukosit 7500/mm3, trombosit 201.000/mm3,,Kalium 2,8, KGDad 99 mg/dlSGOT 29 ,SGPT32, Ureum 15,78 mg/dl, Creatinin 0,65 mg/dl.  Tot Colesterol 198mg/dl,  LDL 128 mg/dl, HDL 35 mg/dl Fototoraks : Jantung dan Parudalambatas normal, FotoLumbosakral : SpondilosisLumbalis. The patient is diagnosed with depression. Given psychotherapy, sandepril 2 x 25 mg for 3 months. Patients show clinical improvement marked by reduced sadness and can understand the disease. Conclusion :Steroid-induced depression has been reported after psychotherapy and sandepril 2 x 25 mg of the patient's condition showed improvement.

Despite the productive investigations on lupus erythematosus during the past decade, this protean disease remains a baffling problem which eludes definition. The current knowledge on the subject has been assembled in a big and beautiful book by the editor. The first part of the book deals with the pathology of lupus. Several subsequent chapters by Mackay, the Mieschers, and others bring together current immunological concepts about this puzzling disease. The last two thirds of the book are devoted to a description of over 400 patients with lupus based on the editor's broad experience with this malady

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus is a long-studied condition with protean manifestations, yet, with so much known about the pathogenesis and treatment aspects still in the dark. In this review article, we try to sum up all the knowledge we have till date, the practice essentials used to date and the future research directions, all of which ultimately lead to a better understanding of the disease and its management.
