Adding some of my favorite slides … #LUPUS2025
Many excellent sessions and abstracts, especially appreciated the multiple sessions on CNS lupus and cognitive impairment - an area of importance for patients with lupus.

Dr. @zahitouma.bsky.social and team recently found that the addition of anifrolumab to the standard of care of SLE is effective at preventing and/or delaying organ damage in patients with moderately to severely active forms of the disease. #lupus #rheumatology
