| Popis: | Systemic lupus erythematosus often presents with involvement of the gastrointestinal tract of several causes. The lupus mesenteric vasculitis, a well-described entity, is rare, affecting between 1-2% of patients with lupus and abdominal pain, leading to severe and potentially fatal disease. We report a case of a young woman, without prior diagnosis, presenting with severe abdominal pain and fever with final diagnosis of lupus mesenteric vasculitis successfully treated with immunosuppression .We present a brief review of literature. |
