| Abstract: | Background Fatigue is the most prevalent symptom in Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE) as it is present in up to 90% of patients; it is considered to be the most disabling symptom in around half of the patients [1,2]. Its aetiology is multi-factorial and there is conflicting evidence on the relationship between fatigue and SLE disease activity, and between fatigue and vitamin D deficiency. The Ad Hoc Committee on Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Response Criteria for Fatigue recommended the Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) for the measurement of fatigue in SLE [2,3]. |
