Lupus Pneumonitis

Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystem autoimmune disease with wide-ranging pleuropulmonary manifestations. Acute lupus pneumonitis is one of its uncommon complications. We report a 36-year-old woman with acute lupus pneumonitis as the initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus. Clinical, biological, radiological and functional improvements were noticed with the administration of steroids, hydroxychloroquine and immunoglobulin.

Lupus Pneumonitis

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is an autoimmune connective tissue disease that is characterized by a multisystemic involvement and various clinical manifestations. Pulmonary manifestations occur in approximately 50% of patients. One of the rare and mortal complications is lupus pneumonitis. Very few cases have been reported due to its rarity and diagnostic challenge. It must be suspected in case of non-response to conventional treatment for pneumonia. We describe the case of a 29-year-old man with lupus pneumonitis as the initial presentation of systemic lupus erythematosus.

Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Case

The association of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) with gastrointestinal autoimmune diseases is rare, but has been described in the literature, mostly as case reports. However, some of these diseases may be very severe, thus a correct and early diagnosis with appropriate management are fundamental. We have analysed our data from the SLE patient cohort at University College Hospital London, established in 1978, identifying those patients with an associated autoimmune gastrointestinal disease. We have also undertaken a review of the literature describing the major autoimmune gastrointestinal pathologies which may be coincident with SLE, focusing on the incidence, clinical and laboratory (particularly antibody) findings, common aetiopathogenesis and complications.
