Answer to Question 1

ANS: B
The presence of autoantibodies is a diagnostic criterion for SLE. Diagnostic criterion for SLE would include positive LE. Neither antiherpes nor anti-CMV antibodies are associated with a diagnosis SLE.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: D
Photosensitivity is one of the 11 common clinical findings in SLE. Gastrointestinal ulcers are not a finding in SLE. Proteinuria is a symptom of SLE. A rash on the face is a symptom, but not a rash on the body.
