We present three cases of patients with systemic lupus erythematosus and sarcoidosis. Although both of these conditions are thought to involve autoimmune mechanisms they occur together only rarely. Our cases suggest that their concurrence may be more common than previously thought, and raise issues regarding the management of patients with SLE. We discuss the possibility that these two diseases are either causally or mechanistically related.
我们报告了三例系统性红斑狼疮合并结节病的患者。尽管这两种疾病都被认为涉及自身免疫机制，但它们同时出现的情况非常罕见。我们的病例表明，它们的并发可能比之前认为的更为常见，并引发了关于系统性红斑狼疮患者管理的问题。我们讨论了这两种疾病在病因或机制上相关的可能性。
