While anemia and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) can coexist, the presence of anemia in childhood does not necessarily indicate that your current diagnosis of lupus is incorrect. SLE is an autoimmune disease with specific criteria for diagnosis, and if you've been diagnosed with it for nine years, it suggests that your healthcare providers have found evidence supporting that diagnosis. However, it's always a good idea to discuss any concerns with your doctor, as they can evaluate your symptoms and medical history for a comprehensive assessment.
