The relationship between oral contraceptive therapy and systemic lupus erythematosus is not well defined. It has been reported that oral contraceptives may induce lupus: they may also exacerbate pre-existing disease. This report concerns a young woman in whom systemic lupus erythematosus developed three weeks after the commencement of oral contraceptive therapy, but who was shown to have had a chronic biological false positive serological test for syphilis for eight months prior to this. The significance of false positive serological tests for syphilis and the effect of female sex hormones on disease activity in systemic lupus erythematosus is discussed.
口服避孕药疗法与系统性红斑狼疮之间的关系尚未明确界定。据报道，口服避孕药可能诱发狼疮，也可能使已有的疾病加重。本报告涉及一名年轻女性，她在开始口服避孕药疗法三周后患上系统性红斑狼疮，但在此之前的八个月里梅毒血清学试验一直呈慢性生物学假阳性。文中讨论了梅毒血清学假阳性试验的意义以及女性性激素对系统性红斑狼疮疾病活动的影响。
