A case is reported of diabetes mellitus associated with insulin resistance, acanthosis nigricans and systemic lupus erythematosus. This will be the first such case described in a Nigerian and most likely the first case in an African, of this recently characterized syndrome. An awareness about this syndrome by physicians in this environment should lead to a prompt referral to where there are adequate facilities for an early diagnosis which could prove to be life-saving.
报告了一例伴有胰岛素抵抗、黑棘皮病和系统性红斑狼疮的糖尿病病例。这将是尼日利亚描述的首例此类病例，很可能也是非洲首例这种最近才被明确特征的综合征病例。在这种环境下，医生对该综合征的认识应能促使迅速转诊至有足够设施进行早期诊断的地方，早期诊断可能会挽救生命。
