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.
