Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) may occur in any organ. In patients with SLE, myocarditis is extremely rare and potentially life-threatening. Herein, we report on a patient with lupus myocarditis, diagnosed by myocardial biopsy, immunologic tests, and clinical manifestations. Our findings suggest that securing time for diagnosis via extracorporeal membrane oxygenation and other intensive care is helpful for obtaining a good prognosis.
系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)可累及任何器官。在SLE患者中,心肌炎极为罕见,但可能危及生命。在此,我们报告一例经心肌活检、免疫检查及临床表现确诊的狼疮性心肌炎患者。我们的研究结果表明,通过体外膜肺氧合及其他重症监护措施争取诊断时间,有助于获得良好预后。
