The appearance of chorea due to systemic lupus erythematosus is extremely rare. A greater frequency of circulating anticoagulant, false positive luetic serology and antiphospholipid antibodies has been recently detected in these patients. For this reason, it has been postulated that these could be involved in the genesis of the chorea through a thrombotic mechanism or autoimmune encephalitis. We describe a case or chorea in a female patient with systemic lupus erythematosus.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D008180 Lupus Erythematosus, Systemic A chronic, relapsing, inflammatory, and often febrile multisystemic disorder of connective tissue, characterized principally by involvement of the skin, joints, kidneys, and serosal membranes. It is of unknown etiology, but is thought to represent a failure of the regulatory mechanisms of the autoimmune system. The disease is marked by a wide range of system dysfunctions, an elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate, and the formation of LE cells in the blood or bone marrow.
