Acute abdominal pain in systemic lupus erythematosus: focus on lupus enteritis (gastrointestinal vasculitis)

摘要

Methods: A retrospective study was carried out for all patients admitted with SLE from 1993 to March 2001. The SLEDAI and laboratory data were collected at the time of diagnosis of SLE and at the time of acute abdominal pain. Lupus enteritis (gastrointestinal vasculitis) was diagnosed by clinical investigation and abdominal computed tomographic findings.
