Glucocorticoid-Induced Side Effects Cause Oral Lesions in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Case Report.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Background: Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) is a complex autoimmune disease with various complications, making its management difficult. Glucocorticoid not only plays an essential role in the pathogenic therapy of SLE but also causes side effects such as oral lesions, especially when administered long-term or at high doses. Purpose: This case report aims to describe the management of glucocorticoid-induced side effects that cause oral lesions in SLE patient. Case Presentation: A 30-year-old woman complained of a sore mouth and mouth-opening difficulty ten days prior. Previously, the patient complained of swelling in the legs and stomach, joint pain, hair loss, and skin redness on exposure to sunlight. Extra-oral examination revealed multiple red-black erosions and crusts on the zygoma region bilaterally over the nasal bridge, well-demarcated with an irregular shape, while the lips bled easily with hemorrhagic crusts that developed into serosanguineous crusts. Intra-oral examination showed scrapable white plaques on the palate, leaving erythematous areas, pain, and ulcers throughout the oral mucosa. The antinuclear antibody (ANA) examination revealed reactive results, positive anti-HSV-1 IgG, and positive hyphal on KOH examination. Based on the examination results, the diagnosis was SLE with herpes virus-associated oral involvement and acute pseudomembranous candidiasis. Case Management: Comprehensive therapy, including non-pharmacological and pharmacological therapy, was involved. All oral lesions improved within one month. Conclusion: Various oral lesions may appear as manifestations of the disease and side effects of glucocorticoid therapy in SLE patients, thus requiring multidisciplinary monitoring and therapy from various fields.
