Abstract
|
|
|
|
Systemic lupus erythematosus is a multisystemic autoimmune inflammatory disease with a variety of presenting features and manifestations. Gastrointestinal complications are common in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus, and lupus enteritis is a major cause of acute abdominal pain in the patients suffering with systemic lupus erythematosus. We report here on a 41-year-old-woman with systemic lupus erythematosus and who had developed an acute abdomen during treatment with systemic glucocorticoid and antimalarial drugs. Lupus enteritis was strongly suspected according to the clinical manifestations and the findings of the abdominal computerized tomography scan. She recovered after being treated with intravenous high dose glucocorticoid and conservative therapy.
