| Popis: | Although both systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and multiple sclerosis (MS) are autoimmune diseases, their simultaneous presence in the same patient is rare. Case report. We present the case of a 26-year-old woman who was diagnosed with MS and underwent treatment with interferon beta 1-alfa. After 2 years, she developed cutaneous lesions subsequent to a systemic disorder. After multiple serological tests were conducted, the diagnosis of SLE was established and hydroxychloroquine was added to the patient’s treatment. Conclusion. The presented case report is one of only a few cases published on the association of the two autoimmune diseases. |
