Abstract
The presented paper is devoted to the epidemiological characteristics of systemic lupus erythematosus as one of the most common systemic connective tissue diseases. Data on age, sex, racial and geographical differences of this pathology in different countries are given. Much attention is paid to a detailed review of data on primary morbidity (incidence) and general morbidity (prevalence). The results of authors’ own study of prevalence and incidence of systemic lupus erythematosus in the urban population of the Republic of Belarus are analyzed. An example of using the results obtained to calculate the need in specialized inpatient medical care for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus within its rational planning is proposed.
