Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) is a multisystem connective tissue disease caused by the damage of tissues and cells by pathogenic auto-antibodies and immune complexes. A 27-year-old female presented with chronic diarrhoea was diagnosed as intestinal tuberculosis. But further evaluation diagnosed it a case of SLE and diarrhoea subsided with treatment. The case is reported because of its atypical presentation.
系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)是一种多系统结缔组织疾病,由致病性自身抗体和免疫复合物对组织和细胞造成损伤所致。一名27岁慢性腹泻女性患者最初被诊断为肠结核。但进一步评估后确诊为SLE,腹泻经治疗后缓解。因该病例表现不典型,故予以报道。
