Case description

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown cause that affects multiple organ systems. Immunologic abnormalities, especially the production of a number of antinuclear antibodies, are another prominent feature of this disease. The clinical course is marked by spontaneous remissions and relapses. Its multisystemic manifestations and the complications from the use of immunosuppressive agents make the diagnosis and management of this entity challenging.
