| Abstrakt: |
We describe the occurrence of bacterial cellulitis in the periorbital area of 2 patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). In both patients the antibacterial activity of polymorphonuclear leucocytes was normal. The opsonic capacity of serum was defective in one patient (corresponding to decreased levels of the 4th component of complement) and normal in the other. Seemingly minor bacterial infections of the skin in patients with SLE should warrant aggressive antimicrobial treatment. |
