A patient, known to have systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), presented with an eosinophilic pleural effusion. It is believed that SLE was the cause of her pleural effusion as increased levels of anti-DNA activity were found in the pleural fluid. Eosinophilic pleural effusion is a previosuly unreported observation in SLE patients (so far as the authors are aware), and the existence of increased anti-DNA activity in the pleural fluid may have value as an additional aid in the diagnosis of this disease.
一名已知患有系统性红斑狼疮(SLE)的患者出现嗜酸性胸腔积液。据信SLE是其胸腔积液的病因,因为在胸腔积液中发现抗DNA活性水平升高。嗜酸性胸腔积液是SLE患者此前未报告过的观察结果(据作者所知),胸腔积液中抗DNA活性增加的存在可能对该疾病的诊断有辅助价值。
