Abstract
|
|
|
|
Systematic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), the common form of lupus, is a chronic autoimmune disease that can cause severe fatigue and joint pain. Skin problems are common symptoms in SLE. Here, we describe a patient who presented with SLE to illustrate the potential efficacy of Bee Venom (BV) pharmacopucn(nc)ture. A 44-year-old female presented at the clinic with symptoms of rash and itchiness on both legs. The patient was diagnosed with SLE on the Antinuclear antibodies, complement tests, and the symptoms. The patient underwent ten months of treatments of BV and herbal medicines. After treatment, the lesions were completely improved without any adverse effects and did not recur at 3 years of follow-up. These outcomes suggest that BV may be effective for the resolution of SLE; however, further research is needed to confirm these findings.
