A 41-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital because of fever and polyarthralgia. A diagnosis of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) was made based on the findings of polyarthritis, leukocytopenia, lymphocytopenia, proteinuria, and positive reactions for antinuclear antibody (ANA) and anti-double strand (ds)DNA antibody. She had also been suffering from a pulmonary Mycobacterium avium complex (MAC) infection with such symptoms as cough and sputum for the past 3 years. Antimicrobial drugs for MAC infection were administered first, and later she was given cyclophosphamide pulse therapy, consisting of methylprednisolone (8 mg/day) and mizoribine (100 mg/day). Owing to these therapeutic regimens, SLE was successfully treated without an exacerbation of the MAC infection. The risk factors for MAC infection and SLE are also discussed.
一名41岁女性因发热和多关节痛入院。根据多关节炎、白细胞减少、淋巴细胞减少、蛋白尿以及抗核抗体(ANA)和抗双链(ds)DNA抗体阳性结果,诊断为系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)。在过去3年里,她还一直患有肺部鸟分枝杆菌复合群(MAC)感染,伴有咳嗽、咳痰等症状。首先给予治疗MAC感染的抗菌药物,之后给予她环磷酰胺冲击疗法,包括甲泼尼龙(8毫克/天)和咪唑立宾(100毫克/天)。由于这些治疗方案,SLE得到成功治疗,且MAC感染未加重。还讨论了MAC感染和SLE的危险因素。
