Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) is a prototypic autoimmune disease affecting various organ systems. Hypothermia is a rare manifestation of SLE. We experienced a case of SLE combined with hypothermia. A 36-year-old woman, who had been diagnosed as SLE 3 days before admission, admitted complaining of mental confusion. After admission, her body temperature, initially 36.1°C, became 32.6°C. Her core body temperature was less than 35.0°C. Despite of warming with heating lamp and blankets, her core temperature did not reach 35.0°C during 18 hours. Ten days later, her temperature exceeded 36.0°C.
