Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus with systemic symptoms or systemic lupus erythematosus?

摘要

Chronic cutaneous lupus erythmatosus (CCLE) and Systemic lupus erythematosus(SLE) are two separate diseases with some overlapping features. Upto 28% patients with CCLE are susceptible to develop SLE. But in some cases patients may present with CCLE with systemic features without developing SLE. Here, we present a case of Chronic cutaneous lupus erythematosus with systemic symptoms simulating SLE with no positive immunological markers to support the diagnosis of SLE.
