The objective of this study was to estimate the prevalence and clinical profile of anaemia in SLE. Materials and Methods: Our study was a descriptive type of hospital based cross sectional study.96 patients with SLE satisfying the inclusion criteria were included in the study. They were subjected to a detailed clinical examination and complete blood hemogram. Results: Out of 96 patients taken up for the study, 47 patients (49%) had anaemia. Anaemia of chronic disease was the commonest type seen in 28.1% followed by iron deficiency in 10.4%. Conclusion: Haematological manifestations are very common in SLE. Anaemia was present in 49% of patients. Anaemia of chronic disease was the predominant type followed by iron deficiency anaemia.
