Article Abstract

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a chronic multisystem inflammatory disease with a wide spectrum of clinical manifestations. Its association with autoimmune hepatitis is well documented; however, there is limited evidence linking it to hepatic overlap syndromes involving primary sclerosing cholangitis. Although cytopenias are a common hematologic manifestation of SLE, pancytopenia is less frequent and is associated with increased morbidity. Lupus enteritis is an uncommon gastrointestinal manifestation, typically presenting with nonspecific symptoms, which necessitates a high index of clinical suspicion for timely diagnosis. In this article, we present the clinical case of a patient with multiple coexisting autoimmune conditions consistent with SLE, who showed favorable clinical evolution following the initiation of immunosuppressive therapy.

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are both autoimmune diseases influenced by multiple genetic and environmental factors, but rarely coexist. This case describes a 13-year-old girl with early onset of T1DM who was diagnosed with SLE 12 years later, highlighting diagnostic and therapeutic challenges, particularly in distinguishing kidney involvement and management without exacerbating hyperglycemia. The patient presented with edema of the eyelids and lower limbs.

Neutrophilic urticarial dermatosis (NUD) is a rare condition that clinically resembles urticaria but is distinguished histopathologically. Given the overlap of clinical and histopathologic features between NUD, urticaria, and urticarial vasculitis (UV), distinguishing between these diagnoses is crucial, as their treatments differ significantly. A 47-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) presented with a mildly pruritic, burning rash for one week.

The coexistence of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and Crohn disease (CD) is rare and presents significant diagnostic and therapeutic challenges due to overlapping clinical, radiologic, and histologic features. We present a 24-year-old woman with SLE, chronic immune thrombocytopenic purpura, and newly diagnosed CD treated with risankizumab, an interleukin-23 inhibitor approved for CD. She achieved complete clinical and radiologic remission of CD without SLE flares over 12 months.
