Symptoms and pathomechanism of changes in the digestive system during the course of systemic lupus erythematosus

: In this work, authors make an attempt to review and systematize digestive system symptoms and pathomechanism of changes in the course of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). They also point out the increasing role of visual methods in the diagnostics of connective tissue diseases. It should be noted that though Osler described first visceral symptoms of systemic lupus erythematosus in 1895, this topic has gained little interest in literature.
