The main symptom in the early stage of lupus is the appearance of a butterfly-shaped rash on the face, with most patients initially exhibiting these rashes, some of which are not butterfly-shaped. The rash can also appear on fingers, palms, and around the nails. Additionally, over 80% of patients experience unexplained fevers, which are irregular and can sometimes reach up to 40 degrees Celsius. Some patients also experience joint pain in the early stages of the disease, mainly starting with pain in larger joints such as the elbows, knees, and ankles. If joint pain is accompanied by fever, rash, and a decrease in white blood cells, it is advisable to promptly visit a hospital for an examination to check for lupus. Some patients may also experience Raynaud's phenomenon and photosensitivity in the early stages of lupus. There are no fixed symptoms in the early stages of lupus; it is mainly important to observe oneself regularly and seek medical attention if feeling unwell.
