DIAGNOSTIC EVALUATION OF THE LUPUS BAND TEST IN DISCOID AND SYSTEMIC LUPUS ERYTHEMATOSUS

Background. The usefulness of the lupus band test (lbt) in the diagnosis of cutaneous lupus erythematosus remains controversial. The study was done to determine the sensitivity, specificity, and predictive value of the lbt in discoid lupus erythematosus (dle) and systemic lupus erythematosus (sle).
