Super Simple Lupus Mnemonic- SLE Mnemonic

Lupus Mnemonic- Simple Mnemonic for Lupus

In this article ‘Lupus mnemonic‘, I will help you to remember the ACR diagnostic criteria in SLE (Systemic Lupus Erythematosus). You will find two kinds of mnemonics devices below. Before we get into those details, let us see what are the criteria?

 ACR Diagnostic Criteria in SLE:

1. Serositis

2. Oral Ulcers

3. Arthritis

4. Photosensitivity

5. Blood Cells

6. Renal

7. ANA

8. Immunologic

9. Neuropsych

10.Malar Rash

11.Discoid Rash

Lupus Mnemonic- Mnemonic device 1

The SLE mnemonic is simple first letter mnemonic as given below:

Serositis:  Some

Oral Ulcers: Old

Photosensitivity: People

Blood Cells: Behave

Renal: Rudely

ANA: And

Immunologic: Irritate

Neuropsych: Nice

Lupus Mnemonic: Mnemonic device 2

This is a different approach to remembering the diagnostic criteria in SLE. Most of the words above do not trigger any mental images or the words are not easy to visualize. To solve this puzzle, we can use substitute words which sound close to the words in question.Once you have the substitute words, you can associate them with one another using linking system and create an illogical and
ridiculous lupus mnemonic story like I created in my previous article ‘cranial nerves mnemonic‘.

The table below gives you the substitute words.

So did you like the two approaches for lupus mnemonic? Did you find them useful? Could you come up with a ridiculous and illogical lupus mnemonic story? Let me know in comments!

Memorize…the easy way…the crazy way!!!
