Clinical features of Thai male lupus: An age-matched controlled study

To study the prevalence, and clinical and laboratory manifestations of male lupus, and compare these findings with their age-matched female lupus in Thai patients. The medical records of patients with diagnosed Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) were reviewed. The clinical and laboratory manifestati...
