Lipopolysaccharide-binding protein (LBP) participates in the recognition of LPS and in the inflammatory response. Here, we investigated LBP in SLE patients and its relationship with disease activity and SLE phenotypes.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>Eighty-one adult patients with SLE from IMID-PY biobank (Paraguay) were included in the study.
