Almal reageer en toon ander simptome, wat kan wissel van lig tot ernstig. Die mees algemene simptome van lupus is uiterste moegheid, hoofpyn, koors, pynlike geswelde gewrigte, bloedarmoede, swelling in hande, voete of om o\u00eb, vlindervormige uitslag oor die wange en neus, haarverlies, abnormale bloedstolling, asook mond- en neussere.<\/p>\n<p>Die diagnose van lupus is moeilik omdat die tekens en simptome daarvan dikwels di\u00e9 van ander kwale naboots, en geen twee gevalle van lupus is dieselfde nie.
