• A. Sturge weber syndrome
• B. SLE
• C. Dermatitis
• D. Psoriasis

Answer 1

The Correct Option is B

A female patient of 26 years presents with a combination of oral ulcers, photosensitivity, and a malar rash on the face that spares the nasolabial folds. These symptoms are characteristic of Systemic Lupus Erythematosus (SLE), which is an autoimmune disease known for its diverse range of clinical manifestations including skin rashes and mucosal ulcers. The sparing of the nasolabial folds is particularly suggestive of an SLE malar rash.

Option	Diagnosis
Sturge Weber syndrome	No, characterized by a port-wine stain on the face, leptomeningeal angiomas, and neurological symptoms
SLE	Yes, oral ulcers, photosensitivity, and malar rash sparing nasolabial folds are indicative.
Dermatitis	No, typically involves general skin inflammation, not specific to the described symptoms.
Psoriasis	No, involves thick, silvery scales and red patches that are often itchy and painful, not generally associated with the described features.
