SLE Mnemonic

2009 July 4

The contributor of this mnemonic is @grgdhiraj. Thank you!

A person has SLE if any 4 out of 11 symptoms are present simultaneously or serially on two separate occasions.
Remember ‘SOAP BRAIN MD

1. Serositis
2. Oral ulcers
3. Arthritis
4. Photosensitivity
5. Blood disorder
6. Renal disorder
7. Antinuclear antibody test positive
8. Immunologic disorder
9. Neurologic disorder:
10. Malar rash
11. Discoid rash

* This is not my own mnemonic, but this one was really helpful for me during exam and also during practicals. Hope I can come up with more mnemonics in coming days.
Good luck with Mnemocine.net !
