Cholestatic hepatitis: a rare hepatic manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus presenting with cholestatic hepatitis: a case report and review of the literature.

Neonatal lupus erythematosus (NLE) is a disease primarily characterized by cardiac and/or cutaneous involvement. Hepatic, hematological, neurological and pulmonary involvement are rare manifestations and normally considered as mild and transient complications. But recent studies have shown more frequent hepatic involvement in NLE. We report a two month-old male infant, born to a clinically asym...

Hematologic manifestation of systemic lupus erythematosus

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem autoimmune disease. The most common hematologic finding is anemia, leukopenia, thrombocytopenia and secondary antiphospholipid syndrome with recurrent abortion and thrombosis. The autoimmune fibrosis of bone marrow is another manifestation of autoimmune disease especially SLE, that must be correctly differentiated from primary myelofibrosis.

Rare Association between Kikuchi's Disease and Systemic Lupus Erythematosus

Histiocytic necrotizing lymphadenitis or Kikuchi's disease is a rare, benign condition of unknown etiology, which is usually characterized by cervical lymphadenopathy and fever. This disease is rarely associated with systemic lupus erythematosus. Here we describe, for the first time in Iran, a patient who developed systemic lupus erythematosus about 3 years after the initial diagnosis of Kikuch...

Oral contraceptive-related transverse sinus thrombosis as an initial manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome in the absence of systemic lupus erythematosus

PSEUDO TUMOR CEREBRI AS THE MAJOR MANIFESTATION OF SYSTEMIC LUPUS ER Y THEMATOSUS IN A CASE OF FEVER OF UNDE TERMINED ORIGIN

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is less likely to present as fever of undetermined origin today. This is due to the widespread use of immunologic tests which permit early diagnosis. It is not surprising therefore that only atypical cases of SLE present as FUa. Although uncommon, pseudotumor cerebri has been recognized as either a presenting manifestation or a complication of SLE. This c...
