Overview
Prevalence
In the U.S.: As many as 10% of the approximately 500,000 cases of SLE may be DIL.
Age
Patients with DILE tend to be older (50–70 years old) than those with SLE (average age 29 years at diagnosis). Elderly persons generally are more susceptible to DILE.
Gender
In DIL, no significant statistical difference is apparent in the prevalence for males versus females. In contrast, SLE affects women with considerably higher frequency than men (female-to-male ratio of 9:1).
Ethnicity
More whites than blacks develop DIL; more blacks than whites present with SLE.
