Abstract
Foot complaints are common in inflammatory arthropathies
such as rheumatoid arthritis and cause considerable
disability. However, little is known about the nature
and extent of foot complaints in systemic lupus erythematosus
(SLE) as highlighted by a recent systematic
review [1]. We set out to explore the clinical features
and symptoms of foot involvement among people with
SLE from the patients' perspective.
