Systemic lupus erythematosus is an autoimmune disorder, which has a rare association with aplastic anaemia. A young 26 years old lady who presented with a history of intermittent fever, microcytic anaemia, joint pains and mild degree of splenomegaly was investigated. Bone marrow examination showed aplasia. Serological tests revealed positive antinuclear antibody and anti double-stranded DNA tests. Patient was diagnosed as having aplastic anaemia with Systemic lupus erythematosus, managed with steroids and being followed up for monitoring the response.

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.
