Abstract

Primary discoid lupus erythematosus (pDLE) is a subset of cutaneous lupus erythematosus that occurs independently of systemic lupus erythematous (SLE). Prevalence of DLE has been estimated to range between 20-40 cases per 100,000. While the etiology of pDLE is not well understood, environmental exposures are thought to contribute. This project aims to identify correlations between areas of pDLE clusters and possible environmental triggers. Patients residing in Massachusetts (MA) with a diagnosis of pDLE were identified from the Mass General Brigham hospital system (n=1539).
