ESPINOLA BENZA, Mónica María et al. Lupic reactivation of unusual location, about a case. Rev. virtual Soc. Parag. Med. Int. [online]. 2016, vol.3, n.1, pp.82-84. ISSN 2312-3893.  https://doi.org/10.18004/rvspmi/2312-3893/2016.03(01)82-084.

This is the case of a 36-year- old female patient who has systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and arterial hypertension and attended medical consultation for symptoms of acute abdominal pain related to food intake. A diagnosis of acute pancreatitis is made and commons causes are discarded. In the determination of autoimmunity markers, hypocomplementemia, ANA 1:160 and positive anti DNA are found, qualifying this case as a reactivation of SLE. The patient receives treatment with high doses of steroids with good response.

Keywords : systemic lupus erythematosus; acute pancreatitis.
