As occurs in other autoimmune diseases, the immune system attacks the body's cells and tissue, resulting in inflammation and tissue damage.[1] It is both a type II[2] and a type III hypersensitivity reaction in which bound antibody-antigen pairs (immune complexes) precipitate and cause a further immune response. There is no cure for SLE. It is treated with immunosuppression, mainly with cyclophosphamide, corticosteroids and other immunosuppressants. SLE can be fatal. Psoriasis. No cure is available for psoriasis,[6] but various treatments can help to control the symptoms.[10][11] Though many treatments are available, psoriasis can be difficult to treat due to its chronic recurrent nature.
